Apple I don't think is blocking development of other products other than since they offer their features for free who would want to play in that market.
The ones who need to worry are the JFW Window Eyes bunch who charge a lot for their tools. Look at what the IPhone did to CF, Apple products may do something similar in the PC space. Of course FS has some blind organizations paid off and is overly represented in government so it's hard to break new products in to the space but over time I think our community will vote with our dollars and these companies will have a difficult time. At least in their screenreader product lines. Especially as the PC shows less and less advantage.
