O, I didn't say it couldn't, be, done... but boy would it be a hell of a
pain.

as i said and i dont wanna start anything, but there are mobile speak
users who use the htc touch, and it is like the iphone, completely,
touch, so it's doable!

Mike, I think you're missing David's point. If the phone has a touch
screen, how are we gonna do it, being we can't see to know where on the
screen to touch. OK, sure touch the top left, ok, you're a little to
high, no, wo wo wo wo, that was too low, go up, ahh, dang it, little to
the left, no wo, I said a little, not a lot. OK, move right, now go
down a little, to the right a bit, boom right there, now, touch. Do you
kind a see his point now? We could only get a general idea. Yeah touch
top left, well, that is so vaigue. How far top left.
if there is no tactual keyboard, then we're kind a screwed. I frankly
wouldn't have it.

So out of curiosity, how would you make an iPhone accessible?
Obviously it needs a speech engine, but how do you interact? There is
no tactile UI. I think it's a lot like a touch screen kiosk and some
have simple instructions saying to touch the top left for yes or top
right for no. That kind of interaction model doesn't scale very well
for complex interaction like typing an email . Not making excuses for
Apple but this seems like a tough nut to crack.

I did bring this to an apple agents attention when I was calling
about another issue and was told that apple would "look into it"
This was in June, and appparently nothing has been resolved as of
now.
But seriously, what do you expect with all this Iphone business
going on? I'm sorry to sound like i do, but it has always been like
this that snassy flashy looks has been prioritized over
functionality and accessibility. To be frank, i'm surprised that we
have such a well functioning screen reader as we have.
With all this said, i agree that the dialog in question should be
usable, i just wonder what the best way to get there is. If we get
angry and demanding, we will only be regarded as whiners and
complainers and if we ask politely, not much seems to happen.
