I like the small changes in iTunes--like making CD selections accessible now 
when you're given more than one option. I think the Safari reader is awesome, 
especially for reading longer articles that would normally go over 3 or 4 pages.

I haven't gotten my hands on Ios 4 yet (new iPhone tomorrow! So excited!), but 
even so, I am thrilled with the huge accessibility changes they've made. I'm 
really looking forward to being able to use the touch-typing feature, and from 
reading posts over the last few days, the braille display support seems 
wonderful. I'm seriously considering getting a display now, and that's never 
something I've ever given more than just a passing thought to before. Even more 
than any of that, I just love that these changes are in there. I know I was 
definitely a little concerned by the last few updates for the Mac OS, but 
making these kinds of accessibility improvements says a lot about Apple's 
commitment, I think. 

Oh, and not exactly related to VO's usability, but I really like that the page 
with the WWDC keynote had a link for VO users who might just want the MP3. It's 
not a big deal, but it was a nice little detail.
