Apple has posted an accessible version of the iPhone manual on their web site, ideal for screen reader users. 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.

In the latest episode of the MacCast, a popular mainstream podcast focusing on Apple products, host Adam Christianson invites Shelly Brisbin, Josh de Lioncourt, and Shane Jackson to discuss the new accessibility features of the iPhone 3GS. We’d like to thank Adam for his coverage of accessibility on the show, and highly recommend the MacCast as a stellar podcast series.

Josh de Lioncourt reviews VoiceOver and the new accessibility features of the iPhone 3GS in our latest review. Enjoy, and feel free to leave comments on this post.

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.
