Hello,
Something to consider, if people respond to what you write in a way that seems
to misinterpret what you are intending to say, perhaps you are not stating
things clearly. By your initial post, it appears that you are extremely
negative about Apple. Maybe some rewording to lessen the
hi james whilst i would agree with some of your comments i would like to
remind us all that apple were the first companie to support us by making there
phones accessable out of the box. i used to be a nokia fan but they had loads
of bugs with there phones and they didn't have a screen reader
Hi,
I'm confused, what does this have to do with anything? At least in regards to
the post you were replying to?
I never understood those if questions. I mean, what if the sky wasn't blue?
What if water wasn't wet? iPhone screens are not going blank for 60 seconds
once a week on every
Oh boy.
now, don't get me wrong but, just because issues that are personally effecting
you, and haven't been addressed, doesn't mean they don't care. I mean really?
In my opinion, care is a relative term here. They don't care as much as who
exactly? Google? RIM? Microsoft? Samsung? HTC?

In the case of Microsoft, Windows Mobile has become less and less accessible
over the years. Windows Phone Seven is completely inaccessible. Nokia is in the

Yep, and we are such a big market. The fact is, blindness, at the level of US

are a very low incidence group. It does not hurt companies, at all, when they

Same here, it's Apple all the way for me, or at least with mobile
devices. I do have a Windows PC but so what. I'm still an Apple fanatic.

Hi David and others,
I recently listened to a Podcast from a guy in Marburg, Germany which is
where I attended the German Secondary School for the Blind and he reviewed
a new Samsung phone running Android 4.0 (Icecream Sandwich).. The Podcast
consisted of 2 approx. 1 hour episodes and after I
As an aside, I'm intensely curious as to what was the inspiration/motivation
for Apple to make their products accessible? Of course it's good marketing
practice, but I'm thinking there's a bit more of a story to it than that. Was
someone known to be having visual issues? A Family member or
same here.

The story that I've heard, and I've heard this from multiple reliable
sources, is that Apple was losing out to Microsoft on government and
educational contracts because they had no accessibility story. this was
after Berkley Systems and Outspoken went by the way side. Since there
was no longer a
Hi,
I don't think it was the number of people who left because of a lack of
accessibility. This number is so small, not to even be counted by a company as
big as Apple but, that lack of accessibility would have left them in the short
end of the stick in regards to those contracts with

Definitely Apple provides the best accessibility. That is much
appreciated for sure and I have mentioned that. I still stand by it.
There is no other platform of the alternatives that I am aware of
providing acceptible accessibility imo. Google does not. Windows
obviously does not. Rim does not
Ricardo,
I'll agree with you we're not that big an audience, but, I do think, when they
decided to do Accessibility, they decided to do it right, as I'd bet the Spoken
interface Beta seed brought in a bunch of folks, and so they decided that hey,

In the mean time, the bugs that came with 5.0 and were not corrected with
5.1 are still plaguing the iPhone while voice over is turned on.
I would have rather heard about a fix of the current problems.
We didn't make a big enough noise, so they can put us on the back burner.

Although I doubt they have been, we don't have an answer if anythign

it based on someone's experience with the 6 beta? They would not
likely mention bug fixes in an event or they would make a general
statement at best. As I state

Yes, having gone off on my frustrations with the trends I have
observed, I should say that I have not had issues with 5.1 or over one
day now 5.1.1 that really cause me any big problems. Fortunately I do
not really use the calendar for all day appointments, if I did that
would be frustrating, the
I agree with your post except for the gratuitous Windows bashing. The
sentiment from customers that their pet bugs aren't being addressed is
human nature and has nothing to do with Windows. I hear the same thing
from AIX, Ubuntu, Symbian, ..., users, as well as from users of almost
all
the risk we take in buying off-the-shelf software that is accessible is that
there will be some glitches in its operation. I should say, there might be more
glitches in its operation than for a blindness-specific product. I think the
blindness community has a tendency to expect the same results
If every iPhone's screen went totally blank for 60 seconds ,once a week...
how long do you think it would take Apple to send out a fix?
Do you think they would announce that 6.0 is coming and all the greatb
things about it before the fix?
