March 16, 2014 by Chris Hofstader Leave a Comment

Introduction Regular readers of this blog, which is to say people who read the articles I write unrelated to disability as well as those about accessibility and such (about 10 of you), would know that I’m also passionate about music, literature, poetry and a lot of other artistic endeavors.

Since early October,, I’ve tried to use the Nexus/7 to perform the same tasks… Read more about Testing Android Accessibility: I Give Up
