As a whole the iPhone 5 will be an extraordinary device. Apple is doing some great things for ALL people and are allowing them to travel with the most incredible all in the palm of your hand– literally.

It’s always exciting to see what the Apple Software Engineers will come out with when it comes to accessibility. There are some great  features ALREADY installed in the iOS but there are always more that do not cease to amaze me. Check out what’s coming out at the link below!

In the article there were no references to additional or improved built-in accessibility features. It’s not to say that there won’t be. Stay tuned and I’ll post as I receive more info.

Excellent article on how the development of Apple’s iOS assistive touch functionality gives users with disabilities accessibility!

I saw this in the New York Times’ Gadgetwise section. It seems to have promising results for lecture recording (and other kinds as well).

Here’s the latest release of another product that will go viral. What’s not discussed is the fact that all the Apple devices (iPads, iTouch, iPhone, Apple TV, iMac, MacBook) have the same ACCESSIBLE operating systems available to ALL users.
