Hi Dakotah: Yes, that is quite true. While I have been out Christmas shopping I have been looking at Android phones and tablets, and all of the ones I have seen are running at least 4.1 and later on them. Many have 4.3 which is a very good starting place for a blind Android user. So I'd say by next year this time we will see some higher accessibility standards and so forth out of Android just because Google is just now beginning to get their act together as well as many third-party Android software developers.
What's more I have managed to uncover a number of accessible games for Android thus far. Not as many as there are for iOS, but quite a good selection for a beginner. I look for Android to close the gap with iOS soon as Android does seem to be heading in the right direction in terms of apps, games, and over all accessibility. Cheers!
