And you honestly consider that to be a reasonable request? I'll go you one
better. How about demanding that every sheet of toilet paper be embossed
with Braille instructions describing how to locate the area of application?
After all, as a blind person I may never be able to locate it otherwise?
My concern is that if a company takes the steps that Apple has and people
demand modifications such as you describe, as a CEO I'd take that as an
indication that I need to get out of the business and leave it to the access
technology people to worry about accessibility. And ironically, I suspect
most blind people would prefer to work with a QWERTY!!
Best regards.

A better camera would indeed benefit us, and Apple needs to get a
touch-screen keyboard that mimics a Perkins's keyboard.

I can tell you how many times I read these knee jerk reactions like
this.
People seem to foget that the iPad and other devices are not marketed for
the blind. The vast majority of the market share are sighted folks.
Thus,
the bells and whistles are going to be orientated for that population.
However, as pointed out, that does not at all mean that the
improvements to the processor and camera won't benefit the blind. It is a
vast improvement overall, and as with any new iDevice, the extent of the
improvements are never apparent from the presentation and don't seem to
get
fully realized until the device is being sold and third party developers
really start taking advantage of its new specs.
So, if you don't need a new iPad or you are happy with what you have,
that is fine. The new iPad may not be for you. However, don't make snap
reactions simply from a presentation that was not geared towards
accessibility and go assuming anything.
Take Care
