With my tablet, I couldn't find MobileAccessibility on play store, which means, 
I believe, MA is not suppose to run on tablet. Still I thought you have brought 
up important issues to the developers' attention. Thanks for that.

Hello,

some days ago, I bought MA for my Sony Xperia Pro. Sadly, I couldn't install it 
on my Acer Iconia A500 tablet running Android 4.0.3. since it, as many current 
devices, lacks navigation buttons. Devices with such buttons are quite rare 
these days and the situation won't be any better in the future. That's why 
Google introduced Explore By Touch feature, and I'm really looking forward to a 
day whdn MA starts supporting this feature, making it possible to use it on 
mainstream devices.

As a person able to use a sight, although in a very limited ways, I don't need 
constant chatter of speech engine. Fortunately, some alternative launchers and 
other tools allow me to set up shortcuts to screens, where I can turn of(off 
screenreader, or where I can select speech engine to bu used.

I had some difficulties to make MA's Web app to work with Google Reader, so I 
chose to use Google's Reader for Android app, which is quite reasonably 
accessible. Pity I can't provide labels for buttons which lack them, so that 
other MA users could benefit from them too.

I really like the "Where Am I" applet of MA. It tells me exactly what I need to 
know.

I already posted some suggestions directly to Code Factory using their email 
address provided on Google Play, But I'll share my ideas about what could be 
improved in this list as well.

* It would be nice if I could set inverse colors for MA screens, i.e. dark 
background with light text. Light background make my eyes hurt after a while.

* It would be nice to be able to change the font size in MA environment, 
preferrably by standard pinch-to-zoom gesture.

* MA's virtual keyboard should support international characters. It's of 
limited use for me right now, since I'm Czech.

* It should be possible to create shortcuts to MA's apps to other lounchers. I'd use "Where Am I", 
"Web", "SMS", and maybe others too.

* Nuance voices should be available as system-wide voices. It's a pity they are 
bound only to MA now. Or am I wrong? We Czechs are short of high quality and 
low latency voices for Android now.

* And as I already said above, MA should definitely support ICS's Explore By 
Touch and ICS devices without nav buttons.

* I have an old Alva Satellite 544 braille display, which I can connect to my 
Acer A500 tablet. Shame there's no way to make use of this connection yet. 
BRLAPI might help ... This is not MA related, but MA supports braille displays, 
which have to be connected via Bluetooth. Sigh.

That's all for now, If I stumble upon anythong worth mentioning here, You'd 
hear from me.
