I do not believe in beeing a troll, I promise you but this product was bought by money I worked hard for by my job. I do not like tossing 100 dollars out the door. So please create a blog showing the progress of moble accessibility. This almost feels like "apple" when they are developing for IOS, nothing is leeked until the OS update hits Itunes for download. So done with rant, time to show and tell CF.
