Thank you Mary.
Your points regarding Apple VS Microsoft are well noted, actually what
you said was exactly what I tried to say in a reply earlier in this thread.
Yes, accessibility to Googles Android OS was a disappointment but its
getting better, IceCream Sandwich has come along way and the Code
Factory have developed their own apps to tackle the problem, as I said a
few days ago the Code Factory suite is being given away with Android
phones from AT&T.
I know a user of a HTC Android Phone, I've mentioned this list to him
and I'm hoping that he will see fit to subscribe and share his
experiences of the Phone and the apps with us.
Firefox has some excellent web accessibility add-ons one can install
including the brilliant Webvusum, I hope I spelt that correctly.

Well, there is ZoomText, and also Drangon Naturally Speaking. Those
are both great AT products that do well with Windows, but many of our
students have reported frustrations on the mac to the point of
returning the programs.
Firefox also have some very good web accessibility evaluation tools
that have been developed recently.
But the term "versus," ... I have to say I don't like it. They are two
different OS's and there are different ways of navigating both.
Regarding Android, I do hope Google does a better job. The got booed
off the stage, so to speak, at last year's CSUN conference. Hopefully
that has caused them to ear alarm bells, but several of my friends who
have gotten Android phones have said they are very frustrated with
their purchase.
