Quoth Scott, I can't ever see Apple doing an
overlay. Sticking something on a touch screen
-to which I spake, <smile> Even if they did, I can't ever see me
liking it! lol!
I'm sorry people, but looks, style, and the cool factor are
important to me. When technology and creativity are put together to
solve an issue without an air of compromise, the solution is
wonderfully edgey and pure art!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

Purely speculation of course, but I can't ever see Apple doing an

enough, it's even more clumsy than shoving an extra device in to the
bottom of your iPod ... just not Apple's style. My guess, if it ever
happens, is that it'll be a combo of some sort of feedback via
vibrations, and navigating with jestures that would simulate something
like hitting a VO-right and VO-left on a mac. Between the two, it'd
be pretty usable surely.

I agree with this one but Don't hold your breath. For example,How
long did
it take to make the hottest music download page to become
accessible? It
will take almost this long if not longer with the lack of keyboard.

be to just ship a small bluetooth keyboard with it. that's all we
need, a keyboard, then we could totally use VO.

workable which shouldn't be too hard to do at least in a limitted

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.
