I guess so. Communication has been lacking at times though to say the least! I will suggest that they post a release date when they have one, hopefully they'll take notice...

        yes I have. the command is bottom left to top right
        regardless of the orientation, for example, if you have the
        physical keyboard open, a slash gesture announces reading
        mode or text mode and you can then type.  I don't use
        ideal much anymore because web images aren't supported and
        there is no refresh, automatic or otherwise and use the
        Mozilla nightlies of Firefox instead.  If I need to tweet
        a weather alert, I do use ideal for that though.  I have
        complained many times about MA's shortcomings and wished I
        knew about the beta.  If I had know, I would have been
        willing to beta test and give my input.  Since I am
        repeatedly attempting to help others, on and off this list
        with android accessibility, it would have been nice to have
        something to reassure people that, short of giving away
        proprietary information, that a much improved MA is in the
        works.ÂÂ

        modes, but i haven't gotten it to work yet.

        I am not from Missouri, they have to show me and then I

        more accessible still.

        That’s all well and good, but what about further
        development on Mobile Accessibility for Android? You know,
        that $99.00 app which provides no stable support for
        Android versions higher than Gingerbread? And by the way,
        that is directed at Code Factory, in case anyone there
        actually cares about any level of customer satisfaction.

        **New version of Nokia Screen Reader**


            *New version of Nokia Screen Reader is now available
            on the Nokia Store!*


              *Popular and free application now supports more than
              40 devices and 29 languages!*

        Terrassa (Barcelona), Spain, October 17th, 2012

        ÂÂ

        The highly popular Nokia Screen Reader application, which
        was released late in 2011 for a limited range of devices
        and languages, has now been extended to include support
        for virtually all Nokia Symbian devices released in the
        last few years. In addition, it now supports a much wider
        range of languages. And the best part for users: it keeps
        being a free application!

        ÂÂ

         “We’ve received fantastic feedback since
        the launch of Nokia Screen Reader 10 months ago,�
        explains Eduard Sánchez, CEO at Code Factory.
        “It’s been a great leap forward for
        affordable accessibility, and Nokia is to be credited for
        supporting the project. However, many users were
        disappointed that their phone or language was not
        supported. With the release of Nokia Screen Reader 1.3, we
        are delighted to be able to greatly extend the
        availability of Nokia Screen Reader both in terms of
        devices and supported languages, to once again break down
        the barriers of accessibility.�

        ÂÂ

        Major features of v1.3:

        • Support for a large number of new devices. The
        full set of supported devices is now: Nokia 500, 603, 700,
        701, 808 PureView, 5320, 5530, 5630, 5730, 6120, 6121,
        6210, 6220, 6700 Slide, 6710, 6720, 6790, C5-00, C5 5MP,
        C6-00, C6-01, C7, E5, E52, E55, E6-00, E63, E66, E7, E71,
        E71x, E72, E73, E75, N78, N79, N8, N85, N86, N96, N97, N97
        Mini, X6 and X7.

        • Support for a much wider range of languages:
        English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Finnish,
        Swedish, Italian, Danish, Dutch, Greek, Hindi, Norwegian,
        Simplified Chinese, Turkish, Arabic, Croatian, Lithuanian,
        Bengali, Bulgarian, Catalan, Hungarian, Malaysian,
        Serbian, Slovak, Tagalog, Ukrainian, Vietnamese and
        Icelandic. Note that some of these languages do not have a
        corresponding Nokia HQ voice, so it is recommended to use
        the Nokia standard quality voice for these languages.

        • Added the "Voice" option to the UI, which allows
        users to choose between the Nokia HQ and the Nokia
        (standard quality) voices. Nokia HQ will still be loaded
        by default when Nokia Screen Reader is first installed.

        • Support for devices running Symbian Belle Refresh
        and Symbian Belle Feature Pack 2 (FP2) firmware.

        • Support for latest version of WhatsApp v2.8.14,
        the world’s most popular mobile messaging application.
