Thanks for the Stanford link. I need to watch the video that goes along with it. I wanted to comment on this subject because mobile is one of the most exciting areas in accessibility for me currently. That and I'm hooked on all these iDevices.

I actually just gave a presentation on iPhone/iPad Web & App Accessibility at the annual AccessU accessibility conference by Knowbility in Austin, TX. It was lots of fun and I did a ton of research on everything iAccessibility.

Some topics I discussed are:
Screen Reader Costs on Smart Phone Platforms
CAPTCHA
HTML5 A11y
ARIA Support on iOS
Native App Accessibility in Xcode
iTunes
iBooks
AppleTV

Feel free to share the link with anyone interested. Right now iOS is the only truly accessible mobile platform that comes at no additional costs. I love that principle.
