The iPhone is the more accessible still but having said that once you
get Jelly bean on a phone The iPhone only does some things better and
accessibility really isn't much better. Unless you demo an htc first
stay away from htc. Their sense ui has been the worst at providing
accessibility and it is they who have to prove different. Also if you
can afford $350 USD, you can get an unlock Galaxy Nexus that will have
jelly bean on board. a 5MP camera will work for OCR but if you want the
8MP camera, get the sIII no questions asked. enjoy your phone whichever
way you go.

Hello mike:
thanks for your email. The two phones that would interest me would be
the galaxy s3 or the htc x1 (I think that is what it is called).
My provider is Rogers in Canada. If an unlocked phone is affordable i
would consider that.
So does the accessibility of these phones work similarly to voice over
on the iphone?

The mobile accessibility instructions are fairly outdated. If you get
a phone with android 4.0 or newer, a physical navigation control is
not needed, and, even mobile accessibility itself will have limited
use since the touch screen is accessible, as well as the android apps
and the built in web browser. What carrier are you looking at, or,
better yet, you might consider an unlocked phone such as the galaxy
nexus.
Original message:
hello Everyone:
I'm sure there are some of you on here that I've met before on the
mobile speak and mobile geo lists in the past.
My windows mobile phone is starting to have some issues and my
girlfriend has offered me a new phone for my birthday. I'm trying to
decide between and i phone and an android phone. I'm hoping that
people here will be able to answer some of my questions so i can
compare with a more educated perspective.
So first, from reading on the web site, it seems that to use MAa on
an android phone the phone must have a track ball or track pad. is
this the case still? It doesn't look like phones using version 4 of
android seem to have such things and I do not want to buy a new phone
that has anything less than a mp camera since I believe this is the
cut off point for the possibility of doing OCR once there are apps
for such things.
Secondly, what is the accessibility like with regards to using apps?
I fear it will be like the days of win mo where there were lots of
apps but most didn't work with mobile speak.
Can anyone give me a list of pros and cons to android and MA? Feel
free to do this off list if you like.
Thanks.
Gary
