[nabs-l] calling all android users, please!

[Alyssa via nabs-l]

Hello. I'm not an android user but I have a couple resources you can use. I know somewhere there is an android accessibility list. Search for eyes free. Eyes free also has a web site. I would be careful talking to sales reps. Many of them don't understand the accessibility features. I've personally found iPhones to be more blind friendly, but that's just my opinion. I hope this is somewhat helpful anyway.
