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.

In CNet’s iPhone 3G S review, they devote a section to accessibility, including VoiceOver, Zoom, and Black on White features.
Though they acknowledge that they are not visually impaired users, they tried and found VoiceOver’s capabilities to be "impressive", and give a little more insight on how this revolutionary new screen reader will work. We highly recommend this review.
This continues to show what a striking job Apple is doing in making the mainstream aware of accessibility, something which can only benefit VoiceOver users in the long run.
