[Electronics-talk] National Federation of the BlindandMotorola to Cooperate on Making Cell Phones Accessible tothe Blind

[The BlindTechs Network]

Upon further reading of the below email I want to point out that Apple has
blind people not only in engineering, but also in testing, and even their
retail store locations. Jus because they aren't part of your ormal clic of
stereo typical weirdo blind users pleas don't think that the blind aren't
employed by apple.

Never yknew you to be at a loss of words, but guess there is a first time
for everything.

Any idea if this will include access to text messaging?
I have put off buying the 3rd party software because it has such mixed
reviews so maybe I will just wait a little longer.
The idea that the I-phone is accessible when you turn on their speech is
not accurate.  Since it is a flat screen you have no clue where to touch
it to do what you want it to do!  Obviously it wasn't a blind user that
helped them test that feature!
