Hi, The point of this portion of the thread was pretty much about his motivations in regard to accessibility on the Mac and IOS and, how much of a role did he play in it. so, I'm not sure you can say "there, end of story. No matter his motives, he saw a market and built for that…". Ricar

Hi, Thats true, but he would have done the exact same for any other feature of iOs - that won't have been exclusive to accessibility. I'm not saying that he didn't care about it all, but people talking about him as if he was some sort of missionary is a bit over the top imo; he won't have made voi

Hi, Another arguement i have from some other sources are that, considering how "hand on" person he is, won't be surprise if he has a major impack on their accessibility. Regardless, does it matter? After all, come to the products, and the products are useful, accessible, and become an essential i

Hi, There wasn't any mention of accessibility in the biography at all, but then again, hardly any of the individual features of osx or iOs were mentioned iether. The opinion that I have is that whilst he probably had little to no involvement in accessibility, its because of him that it works so we

Hi, I didn't read the book yet but, How much did Jobs really have to do with making Apple products accessible? I mean, was he like overseeing the maturation process of voiceover like IOS or OSX? Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com Twitter & Skype: rwalker296 www.mobileaccess.org On Oct 29, 20

I've just read the biography, too. I'm amazed he lived as long as he did. I also think the author was a bit harsh, pointing out that Steve Jobs wasn't into philanthropy — for me, he went one better, he aimed to make Apple products accessible to everyone. That attitude is much less patronising!
