The other concern as well is the accessibility issues of the new windows
operating system. What is going to happen there? To be very honest I am
quite hesitant at this time to get a windows mobile phone purely for that
reason. What guarantee and assurances will the customer get that when we
purchase x phone and screen reader that said software because of
accessibility isn't going to go the same way that WFA has?

Hi Neil.
Far from me to criticize you people and the talks developers, but isn't this
all a bit mute? Windows Mobile 6.5 is a dyeing breed, its really Android
and the IPhone as well as Blackberry which are leading the way forward in
new developments in the mobile arena. We've had years of Windows Mobile and
WM based devices, everything from the Braille Note line of products right up
to the latest HTC smartphones. Why after all this time are Nuance and
indeed you of all people wasting your time and resources on promoting such
an old, outdated and in the main clumsy and sluggish operating system? The
fact that talks doesn't support touchscreens is purely laughable and I'd
urge anyone to think twice before parting with their money, the eloquence
synthesizer being the only redeeming feature of this whole venture.
All the best, Ibrahim.
