I don't understand why Apple didn't think to create a Voiceover type application for the Iphone.

Adding to what Holly has said, I'd also like to point out that many popular media players under Windows only work out of the box because of extensive scripting done for them, like Winamp for example. If you only wanted to use iTunes to play, stop, skip, etc, you could use it, technically, without scripts. It's the more complicated features which require them, and that's true for many players. As for the iPhone touch screen. Several of us have proposed ways in which it could be easily used by the blind. It's time for the VI community as a whole to shed its phobia about advancements in technology. The same arguments were used against GUI's back in the days of command-line programs. The community was terrified of the point-and-click interface. Like that, in time, we will find that we'll be able to use touch screen technology as well as anyone else.
