Apple incorporates screen-reader into iPhone

[E.J. Zufelt]

Good afternoon,

http://www.apple.com/accessibility/iphone/vision.html

It appears that the next iPhone will include a truely functional  
screen-reader. Now, obviously we will have to wait to see how usable  
the device is, but from the apple site it sounds very promising for  
visually impaired users.

Any iPhone app developers should, if they have not already, look into  
the requirements of making their app accessible with the assistive  
technology on the phone.  I imagine that this will be fairly simple if  
using standard controls and more complicated if using custom controls.

HTH,
Everett
