It would be good to have "barriers" in the title to precisely define  
the scope of this document so what about this one:

*Shared Experiences: Barriers Common to Mobile Device Users and  
People with Disabilities*

Advantages:
- It has "shared experiences" in the title;
- It has "barriers" in the title so it clearly defines the scope
- It does not give the impression that we are talking about the  
experiences of people with disabilities using mobile devices.

Yeliz.
