		<description><![CDATA[Facebook, despite its ubiquity, has naver been very accessible. The pages are densely cluttered with an overload of information. Since the company is not doing much about it, there is now a Facebook Accessibility project going on at the volunteer developer group, Project Possibility. But I digress. Facebook has developed a free app, Facebook for iPhone, that brings most of Facebook&#8217;s functionality to the iPhone. Unfortunately, it also brings the lack of accessibility. There is no zoom, no landacape mode, no adjustable font, etc. The app packs as much as it can onto the tiny screen, keeping its big brother&#8217;s cluttered look. For me, the color sheme is particularly bad with its blue and white theme. There are alternatives. Facebook&#8217;s iPhone web site, with its sister page,Facebook&#8217;s mobile web site, offer one advantage, landscape mode. They don&#8217;t pack the same punch as the app and don&#8217;t have the same polish, but landscape mode makes them easier to read. The Facebook for iPhone app is available at the iTunes App Store or on the iPhone. Read more iPhone accessibility reviews here. If you find this post useful or interesting, please consider buying me a cup of coffee.Related Posts:new face for tim [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google Maps is a great thing. There is no question about it. But it is not perfect. Surprisingly, it suffers from the same gripe I have with map books and atlases. I can not read the print. It is simply too small, no matter how much you zoom in. This is true both on a computer and on an iPhone. On a PC, the proper balance of Full page and text zoom can help, but there is no similar solution on the iPhone. As you can see here, no matter how much I zoom into Chapel Hill in the iPhone&#8217;s Maps app, the text size stays tiny. The screen stays uncluttered, but I am still lost. How could this be fixed? One option is to to allow for adjustable font sizes. If a cluttered map with overlapping text a serious issue, how about some kind of pop-up box when a street is tapped? There must be a creative solution out there. Google just needs to find and implement it. Until then, iPhone maps are just some pretty pictures for me. Hmmm&#8230; That last sentence gave me an idea for a workaround. Screenshots, where you take a picture of what is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I crossed an iPhone milestone today and paid for my first iPhone app today. Up until now, I have used only free apps in addition to the default ones. But I encountered an issue that could be solved easily only by a $1.99 app. So I bought it. And I did it through iTunes on my desktop, rather than through the built-in App Store. I have been experimenting with drafting my iPhone app reviews directly on the iPod Touch. The issue has been the extra steps involved moving screenshots from the Touch to the computer and then to the blog. Using WordPresses dedicated iPhone app, WordPress for iPhone, I can write a first draft of the post and attach a screenshot directly from the photo library. The problem is that there is no free way (that I can find) to rotate images on the iPhone. Screenshots taken in landscape mode end up sideways. iPhone: Photo Rotate does one and only one thing for $1.99. It rotates images. Problem solved. iPhone: Photo Rotate is available on the iPhone or through the iTunes App Store. Read more iPhone accessibility reviews here.
