I haven't used mobile speak with windows 8 but I have with windows mobile 5 
and 6 and it wasn't too bad. There were a lot more apps out there that you 
can install on your own that I couldn't use but for the basic phone 
functions it was OK. I noticed a lot of freeze ups though with both of them. 
That's why I switched to the android which I am happy with all but the touch 
screen and either way you're stuck with that these days very unfortunately. 
I don't see any possible way the iphone could be better and doubt if I'll 
ever spend that kind of money for something I can't even make changes to, 
replace the battery in, nothing. Accessibility wise, I'd heavily doubt it's 
any better than what I have now and I'll never see spending the money. I 
don't know windows 8, it may be better it may not, I don't even have that on 
any of my computers and from people I know using it, I don't think I want 
to.
