[Blindtlk] Accessible News Apps

Tue Apr 30 18:04:28 UTC 2013

Jewel, if you could send that list to me, I'd love to have that
resource! I have a bunch of apps on my iPhone as well, but I'm always
interested in knowing what's out there. Justin, if you'd like, I can
send you my list of apps as well.
