Isn't this what apps and services like Onedrive and Dropbox already do
though? I mean, with Voice Dream Reader, I can already open books which
are in my Dropbox.

Well, iOS devices are not thumb drives, and I doubt you will ever be
able to use one as such without a third-party app of some kind. That
said, if an app integrates the upcoming iCloud Drive option, you will
have basically what you are seeking, on an app-by-app basis. For
example, say you edit a PDF in a Mac app. you can drop it anywhere in
your iCloud Drive, then use some app on iOS to browse to and open that
file. If Voice Dream were to support iCloud Drive, imagine dumping
zipped Daisy books into the drive, then opening them in VDR. I hope I'm
making sense.

tell Apple to take iTunes and shove it way up where the sun don't shine.

Certainly, the ability to have other keyboards system wide is a great
improvement. There wre 2 things I was hoping for that it appears we
will not be getting. First, the ability to install other voices and use
them system wide. Each person has their own voice preferences, but at
this point, any new voices that are installed can only be used with one
application. The other feature I wish we would have gotten is file
management. As far as I know, I O S is the only platform where copying
and moving files is very difficult.

Hello,
I just watched the keynote and the one thing I was hoping for, does not
appear to be coming to iOS 8. Hopefully, I'm wrong but I fear not.
I would truly love to be able to organize the threads in the
Messages app;
you know, be able to create folders so I can save important
messages. All
I
saw in the keynote was the ability to name threads in group messages.
Again, I'm hoping I'm wrong and they will bring this feature to iOS
8 but
...

Hi all,
I just wanted to let everyone know the major new iOS8 accessibility
features we know so far. This is from the Keynote - I don't even have
the beta, so I can't break an NDA.
* Better Zoom
* Touch ID and a countdown timer as ways to exit Assistive Touch
* multi-device support for compatible hearing aids
* the Alex voice from OS X (possibly for Siri, or VO, we don't know
for
sure)
* six-key braille input on-screen (no clue what this will look like)
* third-party keyboard support for the whole system, and Fleksy as
said on Twitter that it will be among the first to take advantage of
this. Yes, Fleksy will soon be available at any point in iOS when a
keyboard appears, from Mail to the App store to, well, anywhere!
That's all I can think of for now, but between those and the standard
iOS8 features, this is shaping up to be a very, very exciting release!
