I actually think it's inappropriate to come to an iPhone list and bash
Android devices just as I think it's inappropriate to go to an Android
list and bash iPhones. What works for one person may not work for
another. Instead of getting defensive when someone else mentions another
product, I think we should encourage the sharing of accurate knowledge
about all of our options. This spreading of misinformation about other
products, whether intentional or not, just hurts the blindness
community. We should be happy when another blind person finds another
product is accessible and meets their needs just as well as what we're
using. Choice is good, and we never know when we might appreciate choice
ourselves. I was a happy Nokia user, but I obviously was glad I had
other options when the Symbian platform went by the boards.

I still don't think it's usable off the shelf, but that's just me. Nothing
comes close to the iphone for being able to buy and go, and the reason I am on
an iphone list is because I firmly believe that still. If I wanted to bash
idevices I would go to an android list and do so; I am here to make it easier
for myself and others to use these phones, not complain that we should all stop
buying them. I frankly don't see the point of coming to a list for iphone
support and doing that.

Hi Alia,
You shouldn't have said this about not being able to buy an Android phone
off the shelf and not being able to use it. I bet you'll get a bunch of
replies from Android users on this list who will tell you that Android has
very good built-in accessibility and that the upcoming new Android release
is supposed to be even better. I absolutely think that is fantastic and I
absolutely hope Android accessibility improves further because competition
is a good thing. I will, however, stick with iOS because I am invested in
their eco system both with apps and other devices and feel it's still a
superior and more importantly a more secure platform.
