ah ok then. so I'll just have to wait a bit. but I can tell you that
american printing house for the blind nearby explorer app is great! and
thomas here's a tip want a good cheap android device with gps and all
the goodies? wait till next december then go on ebay and get a nexus7
2013 tablet or a nexus5 unlocked phone. on ebay you can find them or you
should be able to find one for $120 or so. I love android because of its
price. the only iphone type device I can afford is an ipod touch.
iphone? not for me. data plans and stuff too expensive and unlocked
iphones at $600 and up no thanks too too much for me to spend. besides I
like that I can use google tts, acapela and ivona and others on android.
who knows maybe someone will also put together eloquence for android
that would be cool.

Hi Dakotah:
Up until a couple of days ago I was on the Eyes Free mailing list, and
I believe my information is as up to date as it needs to be. I
seriously looked into Android game development, and decided for the
moment it is not for me. I think that is what you, Josh, and some
others perhaps are overlooking. I did the necessary research, checked
out a few phones, and decided in the end it was not very economic from
a business perspective.
That is not to say my mind is absolutely set in stone. On the contrary
I like where Google is heading with accessibility, I am of course well
versed in Java, and I may revisit the issue once KitKat etc becomes
more common on phones and tablets. Plus as I am interested in
commercially targeting the platform I'd really like to see more blind
users for Android than there appears to be currently. Also as I do not
personally own any Android phones or tablets to test my games and
other software I'd have to invest in one, and any software I may or
may not write in the future for the platform would be predicated on
the fact that I would buy one for use and would have a personal desire
to see more games for the platform. Until these things happen I'm
holding off for a while.
