Quite frankly? I think they should give everyone that baught there product there money back! Why? They haven't really done squat for us anyway in the past year! And don't even get me started on the whole Braille support thing!

Many people still are up up on ICS and probably won't be for a while. YOu are still selling the product to individuals and carriers and so you should be supporting it. You have a good product, but the lack of support isn't a good sign. Just because 4.1 is more accessible, doesn't mean there isn't a place for you. Maybe the allowance of additional pages to your launcher, and fixing our complaints would make you relivant again. We could always have used the free talkback or spiel and other than an accessible email client or browser, Ma really didn't offer much in the way of accessibility that couldn't have been addressed for free or of lesser cost than MA was. So why did people buy MA? They did so because at the time, it was the best option out there and worth the money. What you have given us since is nothing really substantial to keep your suite of applications and your screen reader on top. You claim there is no need because of the accessibility improvements, yet you support a dead os. If you are going to support a dead os, then you really should still support those using 2.1/2.2/2.3 as well. It is exactly the same thing. Also because this is a MA mailinglist and not a Mobile speak one, you continuing to provide Mobile speak information here is insulting to the people still here that either are purchasing your product, have a use for your product, or wish to use it again when it is updated. You have a bad reputation in the accessibility, and not just among the Mobile Accessibility users list, but with people before MA came out. If as a company, you wish to not wind up going out of business, you need to start treating your customers right.
