Hi Christopher, It's not all that hard to improve something significantly which was almost non-existent before. I am interested in technology of any kind and recently listened to a very detailed 2-part german Podcast by somebody who is a very experienced tech user about Talkback on a I think Samsung Galaxy S3 top-of-line phone. This person also has an iPhone and he actually had to stop the Podcast and restart it because the gesture which was supposed to activate Talkback during setup did not work. He finally did get it going and then continued to setup the phone and boy was it painful to listen to his attempts to do the simplest things. At one point he had to enter his name on a virtual keyboard and it literally took him 5 or 6 minutes in the Podcast before he managed to enter his first and last name, as I said, it was simply painful and I was sitting there thinking why somebody would put him or herself through such frustration if you can get an iPhone, you triple click the home key and that's it. When I got my iPhone 4S I set it up myself in the store with Voiceover and the entire process took me about as long as what it took him to enter his name. I am not exaggerating, but the entire first part of the Podcast which was over an hour was about him getting past the few start screens and that is not counting the time where he paused the Podcast to even get Talkback to initialize. They may have come a ways, but they have a very very long road ahead before they get even close to the iPhone's accessibility and ease of use and as I said in my earlier message, I don't think they will ever get there.
