Hi Sieghard, Thanks for the update on Speedtest. I'll just add that the original version 1 of this app was accessible with VoiceOver. Then, when Ookla redesigned the app in late 2010, all the version 2 releases were not accessible with VoiceOver. So it's very heartening to find that version 3 release works again.
A few comments: when the Speedtest.net app starts up, it does a search for the nearest server to your location, so there may be a short initial period before the screen updates and the "Begin Test" button shows up in the middle of the screen for access with VoiceOver the first time that you run it from a new location. The main Speedtest screen updates dynamically while the ping, download, and upload tests are being run, so wait 20 or so seconds before trying to do a two finger flick up to read the screen results and/or flick through. Alternatively, access the "results" tab (2nd of 4 at the bottom of the screen) for a listed history of your test results. There is an unlabeled button that is the first element of the "results" screen. It gives you the option to delete all results or email all results. Alternatively, if the test has finished running, on the main Speedtest page you can flick to a "share" button that allows you to email, tweet, text, or copy those test results. HTH.
