agreed, Arthur, lol. if you're gonna take that approach about the iphone and firefox and their various addons and apps why don't you just say that about voiceover as a whole? what it seems like you're saying is let's not make the iphone accessible cuz none of the apps will be. well then, let's not make the mac accessible because of all those apps that aren't made by apple that may not be. that seems like a silly approach. I'm sure there will be plenty of iphone apps that will be accessible. as the word about accessibility grows, app developers will most likely strive to make their products accessible. they've done so on the mac, so I don't see why they wouldn't on the iphone.
I'm sure apple will do it, it's only a matter of time. let's not be all negative and try and shoot down something that could benefit us. the iphone will still be the iphone whether it's accessible or not. peace and positivity Jessi follow me on twitter www.twitter.com/canadian_diva On 28-May-09, at 12:23 PM, arthur gindin wrote: > > spamming hardly befits a "distinguished" person > > Sean Tikkun wrote: >> Can folks on this board help me out here?
