This is a strange message.
A blind person would like to have access to many programs:
Radio, recorder, music player, navigation systems, notepad, etc.etc.
Even if someone is blind it doesn't mean that he or she shouldn't be able
to use almost anything on the phone.

Mike,
What are you complaining about. You should be grateful to IBM and Code
Factory for giving you the ability to use these 6 basic apps. What else
do you need? You're blind.

There is no screen reader, you will only be able to use these 6
applications.
Original message:
I am a little confused. So are the 6 apps the only thing that you will
have access to, or will you still have access to other apps, and these
are the only ones that are in the MA home menu? A simmular experience
to amdroid.
