‘How many mainstream users would buy an Android phone if it wasn't competitive with the iPhone? What if such users had no web browsing, could not read descriptions in the Android Market…, could only see some buttons with meaningless information on them in order to do things like installing new software, could not use more than half of the standard apps, could not use the on-screen keyboard, could not use the built-in email client, could not use any of the handsets without a built-in hardware keyboard, could not turn it on without assistance and could not do a panoply of other fundamental smart phone activities?

Title misleads, as only Firefox has a VPAT and neither it nor IE/Win claims in the article to actually comply. Note the business about Ajax accessibility; having the W3C look into it means it’ll never get fixed
