I will tell you what I will work on today for you.
I will record a podcast that might be a bit long, but I will purposely
install MA on my Kyocera Hydro that is running ICS. I will show you some
of
the problems I run into on a day to day basus with it, and why you
wouldn't
wan tto use it under ICS. I will then turn it off, and show you two
programs, spiel, and talkback, wich work under ICS. If you are going
jellybean, pay more attention to talkback, as spiel don't work under
jellybean yet for what I have heard. This will show everyone the
differences between the three screen readers under ICS.
Give me a couple hours to throw something together. It won't be
profetionally done, but you will get the point, and maybe, just maybe, CF
will download this file, and see how under ICS, MA is a joke!

So since I don't need MA with ICS, are there any other aps I need to
download to make things more accessible?

Again, you don't need MA with ICS. It is a total waist of time in ICS,
and I really wish that CF would actually listen to there customewrs
for a change!
Braille mode? Big deal! Who cairs! Come on! Why not make something
that is, oh, I don't know, how about usefull, like a virtual d-pad in
there keyboard,
like the eyes-free keyboard has? As most of us know we can't use MA
with
the eyes free keyboard at all! And in ICS sometimes there are times,
when using the d-pad in eyes free keyboard is a bit easier. But if you
are using MA, you can forget it! You can't even type with the
eyes-free keyboard if you use MA as your screen reader. You just hear
blank blank blank blank
Lets also talk about the proximity sensor! It don't work outside of
the MA apps in ICS. I have tried it on two phones that have ICS, and
when you are outside of MA's apps, the proximity sensor doesn't stop the
speech at all!
I could go on and on, but I bet you have all heard, and seen enough.
Personally? I would love to use MA again because I love the voice.
But until CF actually takes some time, and puts some effort into MA
for ICS and higher, I guess I can kiss that 100 goodbye!

Thank you. One other question, the phone is not upgradable to jb yet,
but it is upgradable to icecream sandwitch. Will I need mobile
accessibility with icecream sandwitch?

With Jelly Bean, there is no need for Mobile Accessibility. Talkback
or Spiel will fill your needs.
