For us, this is a huge step forward into a future that brings free accessibility for everyone.” This year’s product highlights: • Code Factory’s Mobile Accessibility will be featured in many presentations and new launches all throughout CSUN. - First demos of version 1.9 of Mobile Accessibility which finally provides Braille support for Android and which should be launched before the end of March on the Android market - Sprint plans to offer free English and Spanish versions of Mobile Accessibility under the names “Wireless Accessibility EN” and “Wireless Accessibility ES” to both postpaid and no-contract customers through the Android Market starting this quarter. - National Braille Press will demo its Android-based notetaker B2G (Braille to go) with Braille and speech UI powered by Code Factory’s Mobile Accessibility (please see presentation: “A Tech Update on RBDs Faster than Neutrinos” (BLV-054) on March 2nd at Edward CF on 2nd floor) • Symbian Belle has been made accessible with Mobile Speak V5.7 which was launched just before Christmas 2011.
