Hi Rich,

I have routed your review to some of the screen reader vendors and hope to have further discussions. It would be good to look at Snow Leopard when it comes
out in August.

You bet I’ll take a look at that one. This is also important for our future Mac accessibility work in Firefox 3.next.

Do you have anyone that can do an 3GS IPhone test?

I’m getting my 3G S in a couple of days and can test this myself. But if any of my readers that also have an accessible iPhone want to step in and do their own review of some or all of the features, by all means be my guest! The more of us try this out and potentially give feedback to Apple, the better!

In a future review it would be good to run a test comparison to the samples on codetalks.org and with other browsers. Perhaps we can get others to assist
in the test.

I believe the codetalks.org examples are meant to have their results added to the Wiki. It would indeed be good to get a current picture, but I’d strongly call out to the community to help do this with all kinds of browser/AT combinations.

Finally, congratulations to NVDA!

Hello,
I think NVDA is the one accessible to most web developers, so perhaps we’d thank them for reporting ARIA related issues. I am sure at least various test cases from Yahoo! guys were helpfull.
