This is the case to a point. apple provides Cocoah, which is a layer you 
can use to design your applications, but just because you use Cocoah 
doesn't mean that your app will automagically be accessible. Apple has 
some guidelines, but there are still unaccessible apps out there. It's 
the same with a lot of the win32 stuff. A lot of .net applications can 
be natively accessible, but when you start designing controls and the 
like there's a lot more that goes into it.

I've heard that the way Voice Over works is that it will work with applications that ship with OSX or IOS or what ever is running on the device you have. However, if you want to use some third party application it really doesn't work that well. I'm not an Apple user, so I don't know how true that is. Can someone illuminate?
