Dear AccessWorld Editor,
What a find! J.J. Meddaugh's article, A Collection of Accessible Apps for Your Android Device is [just] what I was looking for[…]: an accessible android apps list. Thank you so much. I've been using the Samsung Galaxy Tab3 for almost a month and have been looking for accessible apps.
Be well and have a fantastic summer.
I am looking forward to hearing the next That Android Show.

Dear AccessWorld Editor,
I am not a Mac user and have no plans of switching at this point. However, I found A Review of iOS Access for All: Your Comprehensive Guide to Accessibility for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch, by Shelly Brisbin by Bill Holton interesting and would view it as a useful tool if I were to use VoiceOver for this reason. [The] author offered some good tips of things I'd find helpful to learn about that complemented the information in this book to make learning to use this option much easier.

Dear AccessWorld Editor,
After reading A Review of the Panasonic Line of Talking Televisions: A Shaky First Effort by J.J. Meddaugh, I would like to see an article that revisits the accessibility of the Panasonic line of televisions. Have there been any changes?
Also, what about the idea of reviewing stereo receivers that Samsung manufactures from an accessibility perspective?
I've listened to the review of the Samsung televisions and they sound like they are the leaders in this perspective.
Thanks for providing the method of sending tweets and Facebook posts.
Please let me know if I can help in any way.

Dear AccessWorld Editor,
Today I just revisited Talking About Accessibility: An Evaluation of the Panasonic KX-TG6591T Cordless Phone by Deborah Kendrick, because I am looking to buy an accessible cordless phone for myself.
I am wondering if AccessWorld is in the process of writing an article about a newer cordless phone that has talking features for people who are blind or maybe there is a new recommendation in this regard.
Thanks,
Michael
Dear AccessWorld Editor,
After reading An Evaluation of the Samsung UN50H6400 Television by Bill Holton, I feel that Samsung's half-way access is so very frustrating. Why do manufacturers put out half-way products? In this case, it's on the expensive model, the 3D model that comes with two sets of glasses for heaven's sake. I think it's okay for AccessWorld to say that a product is a joke when it clearly is. Access means I can have a tech support person shadow me? That's not access. Bugs, [some] functions that do talk, some [that] don't? Some of us will buy the thing.
I have almost completely turned away from TV, but many of us do like TV, and […] inaccessibility is very bad. Cable boxes? Comcast's tech support team is not at all ready to help us. No, Samsung might point the way for 2016, but this access gimmick is not ready for prime time.

Dear AccessWorld Editor,
Get In Shape with the Fitbit Flex by Janet Ingber is a very well-written article. I look forward to many more well-written articles in the future.
I use the Fitbit Flex everyday. It is wonderful for any blind user. I use the Android app as well and yes it is very accessible to the blind. I have been using this FitBit since December 2013 and I have earned several badges along the way. The company is now based in San Francisco, California. Please give it a try and start losing weight with the FitBit Plus or Fitbit Flex.
Have a great day.

Dear AccessWorld Editor,
Walt Disney World Provides Accessibility for Blind Guests by Deborah Kendrick was a good article. I'd like to see more articles on leisure travel. It is so disheartening at times to see just how much is geared for sighted tourists. It makes people who are blind wonder if it is worth traveling at all.
