They have to meet certain requirements for the majority of users. Some
visual indicator, regardless of what it is, is required. To me, this makes
sense. If someone who is sighted uses my iPhone, they will know that the
phone is working during the running of the app. And if it does not
interfere with my using of the app or it's performance, I have no problem
with it.
You can get back to a home screen to see if the phone is working, but should
you have to?
And to require sound for an app that doesn't need sound doesn't make sense
to me, because of the same reason given above.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Audio Archery news.
I'm afraid I disagree Ryan, sinse the entire point of an audio game is
that the audio is still laying, so no reason for sighted people to freak.
By the same logic, shouldn't all those soundless aps have sound just in
case someone freaked out because they thought their speakers were bust?
And anyway, don't Iphones have a way to alt tab to the desktop or nearest
equivolent? while I freely confess I know little about the interface, I'd
be very shocked if once something was running you couldn't go back to your
basic phone setup or pull up a taskbar, just in case it crashed, in which
case, no freakout.
As I said, unless Apple are requiring the same requirements from visual
only programs that have no sound, which planely they are not doing, this
strikes me simply as unrealistic standard applied to a medium they weren't
meant to be applied to.
Beware the Grue!
