yeah, well I just did a podcast on my ICS page about the latest version of mobile accessibility, and it has been tweeted, and it will also find its way on facebook as well.
while I do agree with people that say we are complainging, and that we should be gratefull with what we have. consider this. you say a year ago, you didn't think somjething like this would be around? lets take a look at spiel, and talkback. and talkback has come quite a long way sence last year. they are at least listening to people that submit bug reports, suggestions, and what not. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of blindbites Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 2:44 PM To: Mobile Accessibility Android Users List Subject: Re: [MA] Braille support goes Android with Mobile Accessibility Here's an idea, instead of just complaining on a list where it appears nobody is listening, how about in a more public setting like twitter or facebook? I am now following @codefactory and replied to their tweet about the new version of MA. I'm not expecting a reply but thought at least its out there in the open.
