You can access it on your iPhone 3GS if you open the "iPhone User Guide" bookmark in Mobile Safari , and flick right a few times to find the new button in the upper left corner of the page. Alternatively, you can click here.

Lioncourt.com editor Holly Anderson has been compiling a list of third-party iPhone applications that the growing community of visually impaired iPhone users has used in the first week of the iPhone 3GS’s release. This is by no means an exhaustive list, and will doubtless grow as users become more comfortable with the new platform, but it should serve as a great starting point for the new VoiceOver and iPhone user. You can find the page in the "Features" section in the sidebar, or just click here.
Thanks to Holly for her work to compile this list.
