Android 1.6 Accessibility Not as Good as iPhone

While Google’s Android 1.6 introduced a new accessibility feature that helps those that are totally Blind it lacks some of the accessibility functionality of the iPhone.  The TTS (Text-to-Speech) features of the Android are compelling yet isolate low-vision users who can still use and prefer to use visual tools. The iPhone implements a Magnifier utility which is limited in functionality but is simply a feature that Android has yet to implement. If anyone has heard however of a project or app that is working to resolve this feature please fell free to contact me or post to this blog. (See Links below)
