my android, on the other...Every phone maker puts their garbage on it
such as htc sense ui or samsung touchwiz and so on. Companies fail to
realize that things like htc sense make it almost impossible for a blind
person to use it with out rooting it and voiding the warantee.
With the samsung touchwiz it causes a couple problems such as talkback
randomly crashing on my phone. I've not had to root mine yet but i've
definitly thought about it, I'd rather it have a basic stock rom rather
then fighting repeatedly with stupid maker garbage.
My poor husband on the other hand has an htc evo shift. I love it or at
least i love it for the fact that it's running android 2.3 where as i'm
only running 2.2.
All in all i'm impressed by google working to make android accessible.
Many blind users say that android isn't really ready for accessibility
yet, they say that it needs to be more advanced.
My thought is that a lot of these blind users also deal with an iphone
and they expect all other phones to just work like the iphone. That in
itself is wrong. You can't expect google to live up to apple. Google has
their own way of doing accessibility, and long as it works, i'm happy
with that.
