Larry from APH has said that Apple does not afford the access to the guts of
the OS that they require, and that Apple's business and marketing policies
are too restrictive.

Oh that explains it. Sounds like there is little to no chance that the
APH option is coming to IOS then.

APH explained, in an interview last year, that they decided on Android
because it gives them the flexibility to develop their Braille Plus on the
platform; something which they could not get from Apple. They developed
their GPS system for Braille Plus.

Hi,
I'm really not sure about that. Yes, a lot of people use iPhones, and
IOS
devices but, many, many visually impaired people use Android as well.
And, maybe it was just cheaper to develope the app on the Android
platform.

What I'm really curious about is why APH would design an app for
android when most visually impaired people use IPhones? Also I thought
I read in the manual that the software has a choice of three sets of
maps.

An easy thing to code into the app though; and I remember dropDead
apps
were deemed illegal here years ago, but rules change, often for the
worse.
You're not even buying a product to keep any more!

I wonder whether they are thinking of 1-3 years of updates, or 1-3
years where you will be allowed to use the app? If the latter, I
wonder how they'll possibly enforce this given that it is not the way
purchases from the App Store normally work. I've never heard of expiry
dates on App Store applications.

1: The maps are online. The app is using the Mapquest engine.
2: No virtual mode when the app is released, but it may be added later
based
on user feedback.
3: The cost is likely to be around 100 dollars. It is not decided if
that
will be for one year or three years.
4: When asked for a release date, Mike May said their target was last
August. So he is not giving a release date. The impression I had is it
will
be released when it is ready and it is not clear when that might be.
Others who listened in may have more to say. If you have more
questions
about the app, you may want to contact Sendero Group, their web site
