I and others have been asking for almost a year now with no success. Google and it's eyes-free project don't take input from users. Even bug reports with there existing projects are ignored.
That was why I was hoping mozilla would have better luck. At this point, I'll be happy with a self voicing firefox. Anything to get web access on Android.
Because I can't afford to change phone companies, the iPhone isn't currently an option. I'm stuck with Android.
