Hi Steve, very interesting and comprehensive. I'd make the following
observations.
1. The piece indicates that Android has always been playing catch-up to Apple
and have taken a less integrated approach. One person's "Closed off" solution
is another's integrated one.
2. He is clearly much more technically savvy than your average user. He has
also had access to and assistance from other expert software techies who appear
to have done, or helped him to do things to and with Android phones which he
could not have done independently as a blind person.
For these and other reasons I'd stand by my contention that the iPhone remains
the easiest and most intuitive solution for someone without technical skill or
knowledge who just wants to get going with a talking handset.
All good wishes.
Ian
