Hi,
Ibrahim I don't know the pamphlet you mention but I personally would
be interested in such a thing.
I think it's also worth thinking about the Iphone/Ipod as an
accessible solution for difficult websites. I don't have one myself
yet, but have used an Ipod quite a lot. These days I find standard
websites are getting more and more difficult/tedious to use, with
constantly refreshing aspects and unhelpfully named frames to name but
two problems. But on the I-devices you can either browse the mobile
versions or use apps released by organisations which can accomplish
what you could do on the web and sometimes more. From my limited
experience apps on the I-devices are accessible much more often than
not, and so depending what you're interested in the world is your
oyster and it really gives us many more options for accessibility.
