That makes 3, I had a similar experience with my last gig. The IPhone was a
much better bet. There's a VM tool that someone demoed for me that was
quite interesting as well that ran under IOS.
Apple's where it's at in terms of accessibility at least for now. Good
things are happening on the droid side but it's not there yet. Improving
steadily though.

I have to agree. We looked into this a while ago for me, and while Android
has made a lot of accessibility improvements, its not quite at the IOS
level. There are several accessible mail clients but I don't think any
support Exchange. Also, last I checked, unless you're using a client with
build-in speech, reviewing e-mail messages was still a challenge. I seem to
remember hearing that's been resolved now but am not sure. We use iPhones
and they integrate very nicely into the corporate network, they can be
managed very well, wiped in case of a security threat and accessibilitywise
no issues.

You would be much better under iOs with a bluetooth keyboard imo. You
can use an app called server control to do the remote admin stuff and
it has exchange support out of the box with the built in mail client.

Does anyone know of any accessible android apps that can be used to log into a corporate network remotely, in order to perform basic functions like server restarts, unlocking user accounts, etc.?
My sighted IT counterpart is using Rove Mobile Admin, but I don't want to go android if I won't be able to use any of the remoting tools.
I also need an accessible Exchange mail client that supports email push.
Thanks for any info you can provide.
Alex
