No question the only major company to have ever given a tinkers damn about including access in all there line of products thus far has been Apple. Android may have a future for those of us who are totally blind and I mean no light perception and no one to help with the access. I certainly hope they do simply because choice is always in my opinion a good thing, but Android is still a long way from what the apple line can provide. That is naturally my opinion.

Hello, Yep, and we are such a big market. The fact is, blindness, at the level of US legal visual impairment or worse, is less than 0.6% of the world population. We are a very low incidence group. It does not hurt companies, at all, when they ignore our market, because our market share is so tiny. If you are so frustrated with Apple, go to Android. The accessibility is still quite spotty, but it is supposedly good on a few Android phones. I, on the other hand, will stick with Apple. I really like how they are revolutionising our market. In fact, I am preparing my doctorate research on the Apple created new paradigm for the blind.
