Greetings, WebAIM:

I'll let the SSB Bart Group folks speak for themselves, but suffice
to say, the email about their upcoming Webinar is legitimate.

To respond more generally, I'll post some links to sites with mobile
resources that those on this list may find helpful.

This guidance from the W3C's WAI should serve as a decent jumping off
point, although others more involved in WAI's mobile work might want
to put together a set of links (to add to this thread) that map out
the best reading order:

This work is being done by the Mobile Accessibility Task Force:

Here's the new (ish) W3C Mobile Ok checker (which, as far as I know
isn't specifically focused on accessibility):

And here's a page from the Stanford Online Accessibility Program:

[Sorry about the typo in your last name, Paul -- Adam, not Audum;
I've emailed Stanford to request a fix].

Here's this IOS and Android reference cheat sheet from Access Matters:
