Hi, I don't necessarily think its was an access related thing, In the case of Android, it doesn't prevent access, its just not as efficient. I think it effects sighted and blind alike. Come to think of it, I wonder if patents are why on Android you have to draw those stupid right angles. I really do dislike those gestures. haha. Maybe it works better on a smaller screen but on the Nexus 7, I have a high failure rate with it. As far as Netflix, yeah. You have to turn off Voiceover and scroll the way sighted people do to insure the content your looking for is in focus. At least, thats the only way I've found to get around this issue.
