Not directly related to this, but may be interesting to some. I went
the the Abilitynet accessibility meeting yesterday and one of the
things mentioned several times was how iPhones, Google Androids and
Blackberries now come with screen reading software inbuilt and are
very popular with blind users (those who can afford them, of course).
There were several apps mentioned that catered to various
disabilities (including one giving an interface to gesture language),
which may create more of a draw. It would be worth checking that this
accessibility advantage was being built in to iPhone apps and then
you could kill two birds with one stone?
