Hi listers,
Having praised Apple, I still think Talks and Mobile Speak are best for
phones; who knows how things will change over time.

It's not directly talks related, but what apple has demonstrated,
unsurprisingly perhaps, is that building accessibility directly into
operating systems is the way to go.
As great and important a product as Talks was, it has always been fighting a
battle to keep up with accessibility of new phones. This problem could
still yet be the difficulty with adopting Android as a seriously accessible
option. Apple is in fact being very aggressive indeed about patents and
this could according to some even mean the end of android. so top marks to
apple for showing us a far more sustainable model of accessibility than
other manufacturers but crushing all other competition through aggressive
legal action is not so good.
Regards
Graham

Well I agree though I am not an iPhone user. It was sad and him so young.
Let us on the Talks list not forget Torston Brand, another great man who did
so much work for accessibility on mobile phones for blind people.
