[Electronics-talk] Accessible tablet

[Christopher J Chaltain]

The bloatware issue doesn't bother me. Samsung phones for example have a 
lot of nice software on them, such as OCR and Voice Assistant, which is 
Samsung's fork of Google's Talk Back screen reader. Therefore, on a 
Samsung device you can have both Google's Talk Back and Samsung's Voice 
Assistant and use the screen reader that you prefer. Samsung is 
perfectly capable of writing software, so I'm reluctant to call all of 
their programs bloatware. When I see someone refer to bloatware on 
virtually any platform, I pretty much dismiss it unless they give some 
examples, such as the manufacturer they're talking about and the 
applications they consider bloatware.
