I actually found Android way too experimental, but I think Android can be a second option for the blind and visually impaired community. I just got myself an IPhone 4s, so Im not gonna get myself a droid phone right

I may, at some point in the future, revisit IOS development. I spent two months on it with no luck at all, mostly because the devtools are inaccessible. While Android might not be the best platform from a useability

OK, so sooner or later somebodys going to come up with a VI distro of Android (Blindroid? Blandroid?) which does all the work for people, otherwise most users have to start out with a fairly non-trivial amount of work
