If your main concern is doing it fast rather than doing it right, you won't
get anywhere. I wish corporations and big business would also learn that.
First, let's get it right. We'll worry about getting it fast once we've
gotten it right on a regular basis. With the iPhone, I don't care if it
takes me a minute to do what sighted people do in 10 seconds. I'll get it
done, and it'll be done right.

Hi Trouble,
I've got an open mind for a lot of things. I just get sick and tired of
feeling so small every time I don't know how to do something, or know how
to do it but can't quite do it well enough for it to work. And if
everybody else can do it, then that really shows me where I stand in the
social circle. I know, call me a perfectionist. I admit it myself. I just
haven't got patience for making mistakes, if those mistakes are likely to
slow me down. It embarrasses me. That's why I no longer perform music. I
much prefer composition since there is room for mistakes in that, because
you can turn the mistake into a musical transition or make it sound nicer
than it otherwise would have been. The same with a game. I often find that
if a bug gets reported, if I can't outright fix it, then I'll try and turn
it into something that is part of the game. But even then, programming is
supposed to be hard, whereas simply using a device isn't supposed to be.
Regards,
Damien.
Regards,
Damien.

You better hang on to that phone as long as you can, because even support
for the new nokias are going. Even the new nokia is moving to touch.
Everyone can learn new things in time, but it takes a open mind to want
to learn it.

Hi Brian,
What I'm trying to say is, the very nature of a touch screen device makes
it seem rather inaccessible, no matter how many attempts and tweaks you
make at it. It'd be like giving a computer user a mouse, a screenreader,
but no keyboard. The fact is, blind people cannot see the screen, so it
would take them way longer than should be necessary to access things that
could be accessed in seconds.
As for the button-style cases, again. Good plan, if it weren't for the
fact that the screen was constantly changing, and therefore you're still
tapping, or pressing, for longer than necessary, trying to find what you
need. There are only two buttons on a Simbian based Nokia at least, that
change on a regular basis. Those are your two soft keys, and talks always
announces them to you before you even press them.
Regards,
Damien.

I'd say that the fact that Apple attempted to develop a way to make
touch screens accessible is a big score in their favor, not an attempt
to con the law.
