Hi All.

As the saying goes, don't count your chickens until they all have hatch.  I
be very surprised if version 1 of the product works with many commercial
applications other than the OS itself.  Think about the number of years that
the windows screen readers have taken to get to their current point.  There
is a lot of issues that has to be taken into concideration when designing a
screen reader.  How flexiable will the product be, will it be like Microsoft
Narritor or the old Berkly Outspoken.

Time will see.

Also, the market share that Apple has is very small and it will be
interesting how much of an impack it will have to the mark for disabilities.
