I will admit I am very tired and have had along day, but I am not sure what
the point of the complaint is here. iOS and Mac OS X are two different
animals. I do not think that VoiceOver is going to turn into a same sort of
thing for both operating systems. I also think that as much as Apple is trying
to make OS X resemble iOS, it will never be completely the same. It is exactly
the reason that people use computers for different reasons and in different
ways then they do with their iDevices.
