WANT HAVE!

I'm glad my iPhone 4 came with real Philips head screws, but I'm bookmarking this in case my phone ever goes in for service and subsequently requires "liberation".

iOS devices are an excellent choice for visually impaired users. They’re portable, they’re fully self-contained and are designed to be used without external peripherals, and the iOS user experience is very functionally concise and goal-oriented. iOS will not present a proliferation of windows, toolbars and minuscule user interface elements. For the most part, they’re comprehensible, focused, and as intuitive as possible. These are all ideal qualities for accessible software, and indeed for software in general.

The question then becomes how we, as developers, can ensure that our applications are as accessible as possible, and that VoiceOver can provide the best assistance. The good news is that it’s incredibly easy to add accessibility support to your application (there’s no bad news, incidentally). The reality of adding accessibility support to your app is that:

About 80% of your app is probably accessible already, via the built-in VoiceOver support in UIKit.

You can probably boost that to around 95% simply by spending a few minutes in Interface Builder, without writing a single line of code.

And you can very likely reach 100% accessibility support via implementing some incredibly trivial methods, which will also take you just a few minutes.

Adding robust accessibility support is exceptionally easy. You don’t need to learn much, and it won’t take much time at all. You can very likely begin and complete your app’s accessibility support the same day. Before we get into the details, I want to briefly describe how VoiceOver actually works, in case you’ve never used it.

When my iPhone 4 finally arrives, I think I'll need this.

couple of useful hints in here that i didn't know about

nice (albeit small) collection

Video for Everybody is very simply a chunk of HTML code that embeds a video into a website
using the HTML5 <video> element which offers native playback in Firefox
3.5 and Safari 3 & 4.

In other browsers that do not support <video>, it falls
back to Adobe Flash.

If Flash is not installed, QuickTime is used (which allows playback on the iPhone).

If QuickTime is not installed then Windows Media Player is used in Internet
Explorer for Windows Vista and above. This means that it is actually almost impossible for the
video to not play in IE on Vista / Windows 7. Even
without Flash and QuickTime, you’d have to disable Windows Media Player or
all ActiveX entirely!
Finally, if all else fails, a warning is issued that provides links to download the video, and links to software
relevant to getting the video to play within the browser itself. Since this is just HTML, you can put
anything here you want.

Easier than ebay

Cutting to the chase, here’s the secret: One custom view per table cell, and do your own drawing. Sounds simple? That’s because it is. It’s actually simpler than dealing with a ton of subviews of labels and images, and it’s about a bzillion times faster (according to my informal tests).

Unity 3D now supports the iPhone. Sweet!
