[Electronics-talk] Cell Phone Question

[Damashe Thomas]

I would agree that the android platform is still a work in progress. I have 
been keeping watch on their phones as I am looking for a new phone as well. 
The iphone is your best choice right i think.
Like Jo said, if you do a search on youtube for eyesfree android, you get 
all the videos that are available about the accessibility features of the 
android phones. They are doing good things at google and perhaps in six to 
twelve months, they can give apple a serious run with accessibility.
