Yes we have gotten side tracked with the discussion of phones in
general.
I put it to you why I and others will want to use the iPhone, and why
I like my iPod. One the iPhone is SUPER COOL. It really looks sexier
than any button laden phone I have ever seen. It's right off of Start
Trek TNG. It is the only phone I've sen that when you are using it
for surfing the web it is totally a browser, not a tiny window of a
browser on a phone. it looks like using the Mac, not a phone. I love
the looks. And can't wait until I can try it out.
Our discussion here needs to focus on accessibility of apple products
in general. Most Mac users are fans of many apple products, not just
the Mac. I think in months and years to come that is going to be even
more true.
I was ridiculed here in the past for saying I am concerned at apple's
lack of followup on Accessibility. I was assured that people here
KNOW there is this huge commitment by apple. I don't want to get into
a flame war, that isn't productive. I know some feel it's not
productive pointing out concerns. But frankly I am concerned. Yes I
will still wait anxiously for Leopard. And I hope the dreams that
have been expressed here are true. But I don't think it's a good idea
to sit too quietly by waiting for some minor consideration.
New innovative products are being released and no sign of their
usefulness to blind individuals.
I am not advocating a hate campaign. I never was. But we do need to
be recognized as a valid market segment.
Have any of you VO users asked yourself what you would do , or how
would you feel if Leopard is released and the only new feature in VO
is the new voice and no improvements anywhere else?
