This is why I encourage blind devs to contact these guys. It's better to
discuss this now, than doing it later on when the console goes live and it
will probably be too late. remember they already have prototypes of this
thing, so it's definitely not smoke and mirrors. some big devs are already
excited about it. if you guys have questions, ask now, before it's too late.

Hi Jacob,
All of that information is discussed on the website Yohandy provided.
The OS will be Android 4.0, and it is a completely open source
environment with no licenses and/or royalties to develop apps and
games for it. I don't know about accessibility, as that wasn't
discussed, but we will see.

Just wondering what version of android operating system this will be
running/operating on, and, if it's 4.x or later - ice cream sandwich -
will
it also enable the use of things like talkBack and speakOn, along with
being
a more open developer platform..?
Stay well

Hi Yohandy,
As a developer I definitely think the Ouya project has promise. They
have decided to build their technology on an open source platform,
based it on open source standards, and opened the platform up to
independent developers. This is good because the indi developers have
been locked out of the console market for far too long simply because
the big boys like Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have absolute control
of what gets developed and published for their respective consoles not
to mention require expensive licenses to develop for their platforms.
Apple's iOS devices are more open to indi developers, but even there
it goes through a board who approves or rejects the app based on
quality and standardization.It looks like Ouya will allow an old
hacker like myself to code whatever I want and run it on the console
without all that hassle. So it shows promise.
Cheers!

Check this out guys! What do you guys think the implications will be
for
blind gamers? Is this what we've been waiting for? If some good games
come
out for it I'll be buying it, it's only $100 after all, but I'd love to
read
what you guys think of this. If you're a dev and you have questions,
it'll
probably be best to contact the devs before this thing comes out early
next
year. Here's the kickstarter link. It's only been live for 1 day, and
already it's surpassed the funding goal, which is totally amazing!
