It took me about 1 minute to fill in my name, email, address and phone number. I wrote a few lines of text in the field Why is this important to me although this field is optional. When I was done I clicked the Sign link at the bottom and the website immediately came back and said Thanks for signing... I did notice there is also a Submit button so I went back a second time and filled it out again using a friend's name and my business address and email. This time I tried th Submit button and it worked just as fast and with the same result. In both cases I received an email shortly after thanking me for signing and asking to forward the email to others. Lastly I filled it out on my iPhone and it also worked fine. Maybe for some reason the website had an issue when you tried to fill this out, but I found no issues, the process was fully accessible, quick and easy. When I did the first one 138 people had signed which is quite a jump from the 23 you saw a few hours ago and when I went back 5 minutes later it was up by another 10, now after I did the one on my iPhone it's up to 170. This indicates it works for others as well. Regards, Sieghard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of RobH!

Re: OT: Change.Org Petition Samsung Attack On Vlind
I think in the end, Samsung will find out that you can't put the geni back into the bottle. Blind people have had a big taste of what accessibility can be like for all when it's designed and built in from the ground up and not just on specific models and all that aside, it's just the right thing to do. Yamaha is taking their new digital keyboards touch screen and are totally ignoring the protests of blind musicians. Amazing how one company can be so thick headed and another making every effort to brake down the accessibility barriers. - Original Message - From: Christopher Chaltain chalt...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2013 8:04 PM Subject: Re: OT: Change.Org Petition Samsung Attack On Vlind This is part of the on going patent battle between Samsung and Apple. I doubt they thought too much about the impacts of including this patent in their suit to the blind smart phone users out there. Their end game is probably to get Apple to pay for the rights to use these patents or reach a settlement with Apple to respect each others patents and end this legal action between the two companies. Besides, you have other smart phone options out there with free built in screen readers, such as Android 4.0 and beyond and the phones running that OS, such as several models from Samsung.

Do they expect us to go back to phones and computers that require 3rd party developers to make screen readers for us? I'm not going back into that direction. I have a Mac and an iPhone and I'm not giving up any of them just because Samsung doesn't like the fact that we have a free screen reader already built in. -- Christopher (CJ) chaltain at Gmail -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Ok, can try again if I can find the msg with the link in. Thanks, Rh. - Original Message - From: Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2013 7:22 PM Subject: RE: OT: Change.Org Petition Samsung Attack On Vlind Hi Rob, I just filled out the petition as much to support it as to check it's accessibility. It took me about 1 minute to fill in my name, email, address and phone number. I wrote a few lines of text in the field Why is this important to me although this field is optional. When I was done I clicked the Sign link at the bottom and the website immediately came back and said Thanks for signing... I did notice there is also a Submit button so I went back a second time and filled it out again using a friend's name and my business address and email. This time I tried th Submit button and it worked just as fast and with the same result. In both cases I received an email shortly after thanking me for signing and asking to forward the email to others. Lastly I filled it out on my iPhone and it also worked fine. Maybe for some reason the website had an issue when you tried to fill this out, but I found no issues, the process was fully accessible, quick and easy. When I did the first one 138 people had signed which is quite a jump from the 23 you saw a few hours ago and when I went back 5 minutes later it was up by another 10, now after I did the one on my iPhone it's up to 170.

Re: OT: Change.Org Petition Samsung Attack On Vlind
I also signed the petition. I think it's pretty stupid that Samsung is trying to take away the thing that helps us get around. I mean, what do they expect? Do they expect us to go back to phones and computers that require 3rd party developers to make screen readers for us? I'm not going back into that direction. I have a Mac and an iPhone and I'm not giving up any of them just because Samsung doesn't like the fact that we have a free screen reader already built in. -- Shawn Sent from my White MacBook using SamNet -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: OT: Change.Org Petition Samsung Attack On Vlind
This is part of the on going patent battle between Samsung and Apple. I doubt they thought too much about the impacts of including this patent in their suit to the blind smart phone users out there. Their end game is probably to get Apple to pay for the rights to use these patents or reach a settlement with Apple to respect each others patents and end this legal action between the two companies. Besides, you have other smart phone options out there with free built in screen readers, such as Android 4.0 and beyond and the phones running that OS, such as several models from Samsung.
