From what I've been reading on AppleVis, it is accessible, but not in the conventional method. Which begs the question of what defines accessibility? is something not accessible if you cannot accessit using the standard functions of your screen reader? As I understand it, the Sign in process can work without disabling VoiceOver. Essentially, the app is divided in to columns, and the standard flicking left and right gesture does not work. However, if you touch the screen in the appropriate place, VoiceOver is able to give the info to you. But to get to the other column on the screen, you have to tap something on the right side of it, and then tap the left side to get back to that series of columns. I'll have to play around with this when I get the time, but as I understand it, this is how it can be done.
