I for one would most definitely be interested in such a list.
However, aside from Apple, we're seeing the cutting edge of such right
here, are we not?… Does anyone know of other developments in this
area?…
Just to add a comment and question to the kitty; I for one would
really not like the overlay route to the touchscreen, as it would not
only destroy the visual impression of the phone, (I like style) but
would also not provide the clean experience of using a touch screen.
So this takes me to my question; on the later subject above, how
would one transition for example, between a web browser per se and the
keyboard through which one can enter text for emails and such? I.E.
If there's an overlay, the overlay cannot change when the app on the
phone changes, so a browser would need one layout and a typing
keyboard would need another.
I have no interest in braille input so I'd really be after qwerty
input. This would take up quite a bit of screen real-estate, yes?…
On the IPhone display this is currently the case. I.E. When a user
is typing an email, the keyboard fills a fair bit of the screen.
Thanks very much for reading, and if I can be of any help, I'm
certainly more than happy to do so! I'd love love love to see the
IPHone accessible ASAP!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

Hi,
We need to set up a meeting all of us, to talk about this, because
we all have interesting ideas.
We can work together and achieve what one alone cannot.
Thanks,
Alex,

Good afternoon Alex,
Do you have any initial thoughts about how you will overcome the
application sandboxing?

Hi,
Our first Goal is to develope the driver and keymapping utility.
Then comes the next stage, but that is stage one.
Thanks for listening,

Good afternoon Alex,
Can you tell me how you get past, or plan to get past, the
application sandboxing on the iPhone platform? As I understand
it applications on an iPhone cannot interoperate.
Thanks,
Everett

Good afternoon,
I see on the VIPBC page that there is reference to a Google
code project for a screen-reader on the iPhone. I was pretty
sure that making a screen-reader for the iPhone platform
would be impossible because of application sandboxing. I
cannot figure out who the project owner is. I'd love to talk
more about this project if anyone, particularly the manager,
is interested.
Thanks,
Everett
