you totallydidn't get my message. I am not asking for rim to bring accessibility to us. because i believe the tools are already there. why aren't we doing it for ourselves?

No, seriously, folks, a big reason is probably that the blind and disabled communities are seen as too small a market to be bothered with.

I know there is a very small fot print java bases speech synth andwell rim offers all their sdk's for free so then, I am curious why the nfb etc are asking for accessibility changes etc, what is stopping the blind from making it happen now.? __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
