Since version 4.1 android's accessibility api is quite up to standard.
Unaccessible apps are mostly do to image buttons without descriptions or
custom components, the same problems as ios. Android's greatest problem is
that people think of it as it was before 4.0.

handling my friend's somewhat out-of-date phone plus some googling. I
don't keep up with what's going on, day to day, and I'd probably bash
my head against the wall if I signed up for another high-traffic

Good point, but it doesn't really cost you anything extra to get an

Hi Dakotah,
That all makes sense. The issue of quality control seems to be a
double edged sword. On one hand as a developer I am a bit put out by
the idea of having to pay money to develop apps and games for the
iPhone, but on the other hand as a user I know everything I buy and
download for the
Hi Ben,
Either you are mistaken about the cost or you guys in the U.K. are
getting seriously ripped off, but Talkback is a free and open source
app. As I said in a prior post my wife has it on her Galaxy S3, and
someone at Verison demonstrated a couple newer Android phones with
Jellybean on them
The iPhone 5 is slightly larger than the previous iPhones. From my
experiences with touch screens, the iPhone is the most accessible and, due
to the fact that more apps are accessible as well, we get what we pay for.

I don't usually chime in on these threads, but as an iPHone user and developer,
I wanted to make a few points briefly.
If you just want a phone, not a smart phone, then an Android phone might be the
more cost effective option…but if you want to use your phone…as most people
do…as a smart

Hi Charles,
O.K. I know that many blind users are saying that Apple iOS is better
than Google's Droid OS, and that may be true, but I have heard from
people who have Nexus 4's that access on Jellybean is almost as good
as iOS. So when you say the iPhone is the most accessible have you

Hi Josh,
Thanks for the post. That is exactly the kind of educated message I
wanted to see on this subject as I am about to turn in my old phone
for a new one in the next few months and I'm torn between a Android
phone or an iPhone.
My principle use will be as a phone so it sounds like as a
I couldn't agree more with this last post. Honestly, I haven't tried
out Jellybean, though I'd like to do so, but when you compare the use
of the iPhone by sighted individuals versus blind ones, with the same
usage of an Android phone by sighted versus blind people, you find
that the iPhone usage
