Thank you, Mr. Scott. (I've been watching old episodes of Star Trek (smile)).
Yes, Nike used to be one of the most accessible-minded developers in the App Store. However, it have long since fallen from VoiceOver grace, as it were. However, it is important that we make our voices heard. We really can make a difference. For example, after receiving a great deal of feedback, Starbucks has finally made all of its iOS app's features, accessible, including the new Quick Pay button. Again, thank you, and all who join in the proverbial accessibility-chorus of equality.
