FaceBook Developer Says iPhone Accessibility Is Coming

Joe Hewitt, (@JoeHewitt on Twitter), is a developer working on the FaceBook.com iPhone application. Recently, he has tweeted about accessibility of the application, which we previously reported had been made entirely inaccessible in its release update to version 3.0.

Some of Mr. Hewitt’s comments have included a note about learning VoiceOver on the iPhone, an apology that accessibility was overlooked in the update, and an update that accessibility support is coming in version 3.0.2.

This is a tremendously promising turn of events, and all of us at the Mac-cessibility Network would like to thank FaceBook and Mr. Hewitt for their quick response to this issue.
