possible, this could be a part of the submission process for the app store.
This would definitely increase awareness of accessibility concerns. It wouldn't

The brightness setting simply turns the bcklight up or down. If the room is
well-lit, it's still possible to see the screen with brightness set to 0. It's
just similar to reading the print on a page or a Kindle tablet with ambient
lighting.

I'm not sure I'd say Google fails miserably when compared to Apple's

it, and it definitely behaves differently than an iPhone, but when
comparing the two, I wouldn't say the Nexus 7 fails miserably compared
to the iPhone.
