Re: Sorry for cross posting but i thought you'd might like to know this

Hi,
It’s not the app that’s the problem here, i have no doubts that it will 
continue to be accessible, no the problem now is the players themselves. Sure 
you can get around this by constantly having your sonos open on the iPhone but 
that shouldn’t be necessary as there are buttons on the units themselves for 
when you just want to turn the things on or off or lower or upper the volume 
and that’s gonna be tricky with only touch buttons.

[Terje Strømberg]

Maybe it is possible to mark buttons with braille dots above or below?

Take care

Re: Sorry for cross posting but i thought you'd might like to know this

[Fred Olver]

Jim, Have you given any thought to the possibility of marking the 
here-to-for accessible buttons with dots? This might make them easily 
accessible just like micro-wave ovens. Let's not be alarmist until we have 
tried alternative ways of accessing a product especially when that product 
hasn't even hit the market yet.

the Play5 will have improved sound quality but, and this is the reason i

RE: Sorry for cross posting but i thought you'd might like to know this

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Krister,

I agree with Fred, let's just wait and see, after all, the only buttons a Sonos 
player has is a volume up/down and a play/pause button. I think even if these 
were just touch sensitive buttons a blind person could very easily figure them 
out or mark them as some suggested. If anybody who writes to Sonos about this 
gets a reply please do share it.

Regards,
Sieghard

Re: Sorry for cross posting but i thought you'd might like to know this

[Robin Frost]

Hi,
I did just that today not out of a sense of panic but more out of a desire 
to know and enlighten them of this segment of their customer base. When I 
clicked on contact us at their web site I was tickled to find the following:
"At Sonos we're committed to providing a ridiculously high level of service 
to all of our customers — resellers, partners and consumers alike. Contact 
us,
and you'll see exactly what we mean. And, if you want to go straight to the 
top, feel free to

email our CEO
directly, he’d love to hear from you."
c...@sonos.com
Feel free to join in my contacting party if you're curious. So far the 
accessibility of their app has been stellar in recent years so I've high 
hopes that'd continue.

Robin
