Thanks Kevin! My query was based on evaluating mobile web/app for WCAG
2.0 - keyboard accessible guidelines.



Another basic question - which date format, is user friendly for screen
reader users, considering its Mobile web - iphone:



a. 12/07/11

b. December 7, 2011

c. Dec 7, 2011

d. 7-Dec-11



I think out of the all 12/07/11 isn't user friendly but it really
depends on the user!

I've been an iPad 2 VoiceOver accessibility user since March/April. I

absolutely enjoy it, think it's a great device, great spatial

exploration/concepts, equal access, and so much untapped potential.



For navigation, reading, and interacting with iPad, VoiceOver, apps,

sites, content, etc. I prefer and use the touch screen. it's very

efficient, effective, and a great user experience.
