I would not consider purchasing an androide phone for several reasons. First of all, there are not nearly the number of applications which can be used on the androide phones.
Second of all, the applications I use on my Iphone work very well, why should I settle for less? thirdly, if I've gone to all the trouble of getting used to the Iphone, invested in a book, and probably a seconde one, purchased perhapse 30 apps, found a whole bunch of games that I am certain work on this device, why should I switch to a phone with the "maybe" in the possibilities of being as useful as I know my Iphone is? Go ask your questions to the androide lists if there are any for blind folks instead of cluttering up the IOS list/Iphone list with your inquiries concerning phones which clearly do not and have not stood up to the test of reliabilityk, ease of use and functionality that the Iphone has proven to be possible, and oh yes, one retailer offers the speech program for the androide phones for free, but only those above a certain level of software installation, $99 for most of the rest? Why, why would I do that when I can get a phone with a speech program installed in it for free, no matter which service provider I choose?

I am very excited about this. I am planning on getting an android phone for my next phone! Fleksy would be a great thing to have as a keyboard on the phone!

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.
