Hi! I'm going o answer to the original post here since I've lost the topic thread. I agree Freedom Scientific, GW Micro and NV Access are responsible for how will their respective products will interact with different kindsof software on Windows compatible PCs. However, I don't agree they are completely responsible. Software developers have the means and ability to make their apps more simple, more accessible and more hookable to some standards so the screen readers can use the most of the app interface with no further adjusting, making scripts, set files or external modules. iTunes, as an app in question, is way complicated and graphically furnished than it should be for its purpose. Long story short, iTunes is just a player with ability to synchronize with iDevices, nothing more nothing less and it could be much, much simpler than it is. Regarding its design, basically it has left side with some kind of tree view with various categories and the right side with options, settings and controls for selected category. Tis can easily look like Winamp Preferences dialog or Jaws Settings Center, both accessible and usable to the core. OK, now someone will tell Winamp needs some Jaws scripting which is true and it is obvious Jaws Settings Center has to be accessible but similar dialogs found in other apps are not screen reader supported and still are accessible. Right now I can think of Settings dialog of Utorrent, Free Download Manager and there are tones of apps with this kind of interface. If the app is designed in some standards screen reader will have a better chance to interact with it and Apple is the first who should know it.

I tend to agree with you myself, but others have pointed out on this list that the accessibility of App Store apps is the responsibility of the app developers. Apple publishes the accessibility specifications, so it's up to the app developer to follow those specifications. The same reasoning would apply to a developer writing an application for Windows, where there's also plenty of information on how to make your application accessible. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
