I agree this is a very good and balanced article. I would only caution
people that he's pretty upfront about the fact that he's been a happy
iPhone user for years, and he's seeing if Android is now a viable option
for what he does on his smart phone. This is a good perspective, since
there will be a lot of people in this situation, but it may be different
for someone coming to smart phoens for the first time, someone who will
use their smart phone differently or someone who has different
requirements that an Android phone is better at addressing, such as SD
card support, physical keyboards and so on.

Was just going to say thanks off-list, but it's been a while since this was posted and there are new folks on the list who may enjoy the read.
I enjoyed what was all and all a pretty thoughtful and well written take on the differences in accessibility between the two OSs; and the usage pattern was certainly well with in that of a typical blind smart phone user I think.
To be fair however, I have heard some folks who own and use or at least have owned and used both droid and I devices point out some very possitive features available for android that are completely off the table for IOS, and others that are where Appple is at least a release behind. As I still have mostly only used $20 phones that make phone calls I can't weigh in...lol., but it seems that few honest folk would say that android is clearly all around a better accessibility choice. They seem to fall in to the camps of android is just too hard and or lacking something really important to me, or those who say one wins here, the other there. I'm obfviously ignoring Apple fanboys and girls and the fanatical FOS croud.
Thanks again for the post, and Marcos is worth checking every couple months if not more often anyway/I've been lax this last season or so.
Peace.
