iTunes to be more accessible
Posted by Thomas Obrey on September 29th, 2008I found the tidbit below while perusing news.com. This is especially interesting given the recent post I made regarding Target and the National Federation of the Blind, in which Target settled out for a cool $6M.
Apple will be making iTunes more accessible to blind consumers, under an agreement reached with the Massachusetts attorney general’s office and the National Federation of the Blind.
The agreement states that the application will be fully accessible by year’s end, and, drum roll please — Apple will contribute $250K to the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind so they can buy assistive technologies.
Read the news.com snippet, which is brief. Or the AppleInsider scoop, which is quite lengthy and mentions some Nano changes as well. -t
