Subject: iTunes Accessibility - have I been mistaken?
G'day,
I read an article by Peter Abrams about the accessibility of the
iPhone. It's about the *lack of* accessibility of the iPhone, mostly.
Anyway, in the comments of course there's the requisite - I thought -
idiot saying that iTunes isn't accessible.
I assumed this was a Windows user who had no clue and I was rather,
erm, strident in informing him of his mistaken beliefs. Anyway, he's
replied again listing specifics of what he can't do (mainly, interact
with the main iTunes Story window in any way) and saying that "his
blind friend" is not just a Leopard user but a beta tester for VO. I'm
not a VO user myself as many of you know, so I'm concerned that I may
have ended up with both feet in my mouth here!
The article is here:

If you search for "Big Man" you'll jump to his first comment. If you
want to leave a reply on that web page, please please please be very
polite and no flaming! Just facts about whether he's right or not... I
don't want to create problems or "apple fanboy rage" or make VO users
look bad in any way. If you want to reply on the list, I'll leave
another comment there with links to the list replies via the archives.
Cheers,
Ricky
