User:Per B./Mobile Accessibility

What is Mobile Accessibility?
I use the Twitter account @PerBusch to continue the work of my Open Letter Initiative. Mainly I use Twitter as a blog and/or news ticker for everything related to the term Mobile Accessibility.

On this page and on the following pages I have sorted my tweets respectively the commented bookmarks to make them better searchable.
 * Android Accessibility
 * iPhone/iPod Accessibility
 * Blackberry Accessibility
 * Nokia Accessibility (Symbian and QT)
 * Augmented Location (Maps, lbs, GPS, GIS, AR, mobility, ...)
 * Miscellanous (Blindness, Accessibility, Advocacy, Motivation, Private ...)
 * All tweets from @PerBusch in chronological order

Note: I had to remove all hashtags (#) at the beginning of tweets. Otherwise the MediaWiki software would convert the # into a list number.
