Hi, i think it is sad, almost tragic that we once again need a reinvention of the wheel in this case the KNFB reader to be satisfied with the results we get. This can, in the worst scenario send a signal to developers of main stream apps that they need not make the effort to make their apps accessible, the blindies have their own special apps that they use so why bother, and once again we'll be directed to the situation that we said we didn't want when the IPhone first became accessible. Yes there's a choice and all that and people choose what ever tool fits the task and all the rest, but some day there won't be this choice because we repeatedly send signals to the developers that their effort ain't gonna satisfy us and that the only things that will are the "blind ghetto" solutions. (note the quotes) That's my rant for today, now off my soap box and put on a flame protective suit because i sure gonna need it after this. /Krister
