You have a point, but the iPhone has a much better shot at it than
anything else out there, given how closely it is tied to Mac OS X.
iPhone developers are, by and large, Mac developers. Mac developers
have been very responsive to accessibility issues, more so than any
other mainstream platform.
I suspect we're going to see very similar, if not nearly exactly the
same, level of access on the iPhone as we see on the Mac, and I expect
that to come much more quickly on the iPhone.
