Well I would have been surprised if there was any mention. The out of box accessibility was absolutely critical to me, but is totally irrelevant to 99% of the population, hence the media would not consider that a very notable feature.
That is the grim reality which is why many developers can't be bothered with accessibility. Best regards.

While it was very sad to hear of Steve Jobs' passing, two things came to mind: First, from a historical standpoint, what were the factors that prompted Apple to promote accessibility? That wasn't always the case. Does anyone on the list know? It was this accessibility out of the box that got me to consider buying my MacBook Pro and iPhone. Second, no one in the general media said anything about Apple's products being accessible out of the box. Compare that to PC's or other smartphones. Anyway, just my thoughts. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>.
