(Rant/Vent) Still no Accessibility features on PB...
Hey Crack Crew,
I wanted to take a moment to talk about something frustrating. I plan to continue being patient, but need this to be heard.
First let me take back to last summer, the PlayBook was releases without basic functions like adjusting font size and it made my (and others) user experience difficult. So I took the time to write to RImM, and it yielded actual conversations with RIM execs in charge of PlayBook development. We spoke on numerous occassionsions and developed a plan to bring not onlythese basic acessibilutbilutity features but some that couldtake the PB to anewlevel.
