Hi, Bryan. Talkback in Android 2.2 is getting close to usable, but
not quite there. The main problem remaining is that the browser and
e-mail applications are not accessible, both of which I think use
webkit. Work on making it accessible is underway. I think we can
count on Google to get it where it needs to be, but I can't estimate
the timeline.
