not to mention the extra money Mobile speak costs! If you could get a mainstream product like the Iphone and have it be accessible right off the shelf with out the cost and hassle of third party software, wouldn't you go for that option?

yeah, I was thinking one way to make the touch screen workable would be to just ship a small bluetooth keyboard with it. that's all we need, a keyboard, then we could totally use VO.

Well, there are a few tactile buttons for volume, home, ring/ silent and sleep/wake. Everything else is through the touch screen. Maybe they will eventually just put VO on the iPhone. It supposedly is OSX under the hood.

Yes, they replied to me, too. Interesting the the iPhone link on the
new Accessibility page mentions tactile buttons.

Hello All,
I just wanted you to know that I wrote an appreciation EMail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and they responded. I really appreciate that as well as the fixes.
They also mentioned a new Accessibility page,
http://www.apple.com/accessibility/
So I'm going to the Accessibility page to see what's new.
