Hi,
I also think this is laughable. But… I played around with a Microsoft Surface
RT tablet and the well known Windows Narrator was present and worked quite
well. With all the fancy swipe and double tap gestures included. Speech was
only in a few languages and extra ones weren't available for download.
What I am trying to say here, is that there has to be some accessibility
framework present on Windows RT.
But why not on a Windows Phone, it's practically the same operating system.

I think the real issue is that Microsoft is simply not concerned about true
accessibility and it is not a priority for them.

Well if that's the case then people aren't going to be getting the Windows
experience I'm afraid. Why don't CF manufacture a MA phone with these 6 apps as
it would be just as useful as using it on Windows. II'm not sure why Microsoft
aren't thinking about full accessibility. Have they heard about IOS and
Android. You would think they would sit up and take note? I personally wouldn't
buy a Windows phone just so I can use MA on it as I wouldn't have access to the
phones' OS.

There is no screen reader, you will only be able to use these 6 applications.

I am a little confused. So are the 6 apps the only thing that you will have
access to, or will you still have access to other apps, and these are the only
ones that are in the MA home menu? A simmular experience to amdroid.
