And for what it's worth, I received an email from accessibility today. Just
receiving timely responses is more than I often got with freedom Scientific,
but the content of the response was also very welcome. They assured me that
they were aware of the problems and that their engineers were looking into
them, and beyond that, they encouraged me to write them again if I encountered
other bugs. Frustrating as these glitches are, at least I'm confident they're
listening to us.
Though, you know, I make no promises that I'll still be feeling this way
tomorrow, if the reported bug about not being able to access the keyboard with
VO on the new iPhone turns out to be as big a deal as it sounds. I doubt I will
be quite so sanguine. :)
