Hi, I too would rather fight than switch given the amount of development being done for Apple as opposed to Android. Then there are the security issues which have been in the press for the latter of late as well. Surveys show that Android users just don't do the kind of things in the numbers that we with IOS devices do, including updating to the latest build of phone firmware or buying the latest models. One of the TodayInIOS podcasts had a great breakdown on these numbers a few weeks back.

Fleksy on Android as a keyboard default wouldn't be enough to cause me to switch from iPhone to Android. Although Android has definitely improved in terms of accessibility, from the reviews I've read and the podcasts I've listened to, it still has a long long way to go before it's comparable to IOS. I would never consider switching unless access was at least the same if not better than my iPhone. Just my thoughts. Personally, I'm hoping that Apple sees how terrific Fleksy is and works something out so that it can be used across the OS as a default. A long shot I know, but one can dream.

We are writing to ask a question to those in the list. As you know, we are committed to develop Fleksy and make it available for more and more users. One of the restrictions we've had so far, is that on iOS, Fleksy cannot replace your system keyboard across the device. We provide as much integration as possible, letting you email, SMS, tweet, and (soon) post to Facebook from within Fleksy. And you can copy and paste to any other app. We are trying to go beyond this: we could provide Fleksy as a keyboard across the device, so you can use it in every single app without the need to have a separate app, or to copy and paste. We've also noticed that Android is becoming more and more accessible for visually impaired users with each update. So, here's a question for the list: If there was a phone that was accessible, and that had Fleksy built in from the start. By built in, we mean that Fleksy could be used as a system keyboard on every app, and that Fleksy would come with the phone, i.e. without having to purchase the app separately. How likely would this be to make you consider buying such a device? Obviously we are talking about a hypothetical scenario, so for now let's assume all other features will be the same as your current device. Would the availability of Fleksy as a system typing mode to use in every app make you consider an accessible Android phone in your next upgrade? Looking forward to your thoughts on this.
