Update needed: Have any suits been filed to address the disciminatory practices of companies creating, distributing and selling cell phones and other equipment that via software that is currently AVAILABLE can be made speakable and use of voice command to operate the items made useable throughout each menu and submenu component, yet continues to be sold without adequate accessibility, especially for Apple/mac users? When approached regarding this issue and reminded that the owners did provide for accessibility via TTY I remind them that is fine for the hard of hearing but the blind and low vision groups seem to continue to be ignored regarding total accessibility for ALL.
Thanks for any information on this issue.

As a struggling part-time 1L, the prospect is tempting since my law school
is not approved by the ABA because the school is online. However, you have
to have a way to pay the bills, which my GS-11 Federal job provides at the
moment.
