Android always seems to be the poor cousin Dónal...UPC haven't bothered
developing an app for it yet, instead they've built a mobile website, which
ironically is a lot more accessible than their app for the iPhone!
Is it just me, or are more and more inaccessible IOS apps appearing? Other than
the Apple ones, I'm finding a lot of the apps I download don't play well with
Voiceover.
