ok try writing a 20 page college paper on your iPhone and let me know
after you're done if you really want business to go completely mobile. and
try running some virtual machines on your iPhone and some servers. I just
don't think it'll work very well for you.

Couldn't the iPhone replace the game console? A wireless keyboard or
other device would eliminate the need for gestures, to a point. In a
way, other than the mass storage issue, it is like a pocket computer.

Let's assume that the xBox can run something like NVDA. The
difficulty, then, would be input. NVDA could read and recognize the
text you're on, but you'd have to be pretty careful about creating
non-conflicting NVDA-based input commands, then implementing them in
your xBox's local copy. That's assuming that it would actually run
NVDA at all. I'm actually pretty interested in just how blurred the
lines are between something like an xBox 1 or 3'60 and a standard
windows or windows RT/Phone device.
What with Windows 10 promising a lot of cross-compatibility with the
xBox and what with many games being offered on PC, I see the decline
of the console market as something akin to inevitable. I think the
future of the console is going to be what they tried to do with the
xBox 1, a fully featured entertainment and communications hub,
basically a Microsoft set-top box that could get streaming TV, play
games and music, and could make and receive video calls. The dedicated
console market is basically supplanted by something we can use with at
least some success, the personal computer. Still, if the xBox turned
out to be accessible, or the PS 4 for that matter, that'd be another
reason to consider getting one, if only for the experience of actually
being able to use the thing.
Sorry for what turned out to be a long, slightly rambling message.
Still, here's hoping it was helpful.

i was of the understanding that the xbox 1 is already out? so if it
can run
universal apps can it not run things like nvda?

The dashboard can be memorised. If you get a Kinect with the xbox,
then
you can also use voice commands to navigate the interface and launch
games, and the success and/or failure of what you asked is indicated
with
audio queues. The newer Kinect games like Kinect sports season 2 also
let
you use voice commands in the game's menus. Downloading digital games
is
accessible because you can do it from the xbox live website. The
cconsole
is smart enough to start downloading new purchases and when they're
finished you get a sound. You can also use the smart glass app on
iOS,
android or Windows 8 to control the console and launch games.
Now, for some speculation. The Xbox one is very likely to receive
Windows
10, and it will support running new "universal" apps, so it's very
likely
it may receive a narrator feature, especially considering that
because
Microsoft is pushing it as a media consumption device it might fall
under
the FCC accessibility regulations.

hi all,
am at a friends house and he's got an xbox 360. some of the games he
plays are pretty fun. obviously the games themselves would vary in
accessibility but overall what about the whole xbox experience? what
level of accessibility is there currantly? is there work being done
to
make the xbox experience more accessible?
