I think there will always be a space for a desk computer, or at least
a computer on a desk, or a portable laptop type of system with full
keyboard of some description.
Maybe the desktop will be on the wall and most of our stuff will be
touch or voice like startrek but even in startrek they had desktop
terminals of some description.
So the concept of the desktop won't go away.
It may look different.
What gets me is why we didn't move to touch earlier.
I mean shape drawing will be really good especially if we have feadback.
Ofcause all blind will have to buy apple or android to be real
successfull with the new market.
Ms changes to much to be relyable.
Not that I will move any time soon having spent to much cash on
games, and other junk, but if i started again, I'd get a chunky
expensive braille device and maybe skip to apple solely.
Maybe emulate windows on a vm but sertainly I wouldn't have windows
as a prime os.
I can't afford to move now though.

If the desktop computer is not the all in one package, why do I hear
people saying that the IPhone or other mobile devices are the all in
one package, when it is obviously not true?
And, if consoles like the play station 3 are running their own
operating system with internet access and such, then there would be
the question why theese parts of their interfaces don't have their
own build in accessibility features.
And what I also don't get is, why developers, be they mainstream or
audio game ones do limit themselves to one market segment.
It is true that devices like the IPhone are growing in popularity
even for blind users.
And because of this we have some accessible games for the blind for
such devices, like Papa Sangre.
But What I don't get is, why there isn't a version of Papa Sangre
for Mac OS X, which is like IOS and shares several components with it.
Or there could be a version for Windows or Linux.
And from a capitalistic point of view, it wouldn't be a bad idea to
target several platforms together to gain maximum profit.
That's why I never got why several PS2 and PS1 games like all God of
War, Darkstalkers or Naruto games were never released for the PC.
In the times the first titles of each series were released, there
was no IPhone and computers (namely desktop computers) were still
more like the all in one device and had a bigger market.
It also doesn't explain, why severa l console games do have
expansions or extra content available via some download service,
while several old and new PC games don't have such features.
And then there is the case of games like Lara Croft and the Guardian
of Light where we have a massive content difference between platforms...
