  • I completely agree that technology manufacturers need to understand the needs of visually impaired and blind consumers. It is not fair that cable, and other companies charge us for the same features as sighted users when we can't take advantage of many of the services they are actually offering.  Further more, I think it should be a crime to charge a premium to add accessibility features to products. I think we need to look to the open-source community for accessibility innovations.

  • This was very informative, and I appreciate your work. In regards to having mainstream manufacturers making their material accessible for us, I'd say the one to look to is Apple, in terms of an example. The iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad, and Mac, are entirely accessible (with the exception of some third party apps, obviously). I think that, since Apple can do it (and Apple is huge at the moment), that anyone can.
