Mike, My comments resulted from the half-ass job they did with the access they _did provide. I downloaded it mainly for testing purposes but also because of the email client and web browser, but I was shocked at how little attention they paid to making their product truly usable. I mean, what kind of a browser doesn't provide streaming? And it takes a sighted person who has no experience with the blind to say "Oh, we should include a where am I app because poor helpless blind people are always getting lost and they should know their address every two inches while walking but the intersection isn't that important because why would blind people care about that"? And it's not like the cloud hasn't been around for a while now ... I mean, how difficult would it be to make the google calendar and the MA calendar sync? And maybe provide push notifications for the MA calendar? Like "Hey, you have an appointment coming up, here's a little alarm to remind you". Or are we substandard phone users who wouldn't wish to appreciate the features that every single sighted phone and/or droid user has enjoyed for the past few years? now, before people start blocking me because of negative posts, I am enjoying certain aspects of mobile accessibility. The apps list with its removing apps being right there in the menu, the email app for the most part, the calendar even are excellent apps, and the voice is excellent. But it is extremely lacking, I don't know if there are any MA representatives keeping an eye on this list, and I haven't seen an effort to fix these issues even though I have seen the same things I'm posting about over and over on many different lists. Now maybe they're going to come out with an awesome new update that fixes all of this. At that point, I will try it out and say "Wow, I'm sorry codefactory, you really have innovated and come a long way". Until then, how can I recomment that a user pay the most money for any app I have used on the android market when it doesn't provide too much more access than other free alternatives? This is especially true with the release of the accessible browser in ICS.
Thanks.
