Out of these 2, I would go with the galaxy s III. This will probably
come with android 4.0, ICS but will soon be updated to 4.1, jellybean.
For ICS, you can use explore by touch to find the item you want, then
tap that item to activate it. Android 4.1 includes gestures similar to
the iphone for moving around. It's important to keep in mind that
android does things differently from the iphone, so, when learning
android, you don't want to compare the two.

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The mobile accessibility instructions are fairly outdated.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.

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
