Hi Scott and others, Scott's suggestion did the trick for me! It is certainly confusing and without this list I don't know If I would have figured out how to get to the picker to change the date and time.
The difference from iOS 5 is that now after tapping on the date you can not just flick right several times to the picker. you must touch the bottom part of the screen. Also if you flick left past the day button and reach the delete button the pickers disappear . This has confused many of us as I have seen this question emailed to me from non list members using the podcast on Applevis.com. thanks Scott for finding a solution. Until this is fixed I suspect many Voice Over users new to the app will not figure it out and likely give up on the app. I know I almost gave up on it under iOS 5 and it was easier to find the pickers then.
