It even says that in the E-Commerce News Article: http://www.ecommercetimes.com/perl/story/15199.html <quote> The Amazon Access Web site, for example, is powered by the company's mobile commerce platform, Amazon Anywhere. That platform provides wireless access to Amazon's Web sites via WAP (wireless application protocol)-enabled devices in Europe and the United States and via i-mode and EZweb phones in Japan. We had the technology we were using to enable mobile devices to access our site," Frederick said. Adapting that technology to enable Amazon Access was a relatively simple matter, he added. </quote> So, if what has been reported here is true (e.g searches coming up different between the regular site and the accessible site), the site is unequal for mobile users as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: Aaron Smith To: Jim Thatcher ; david.bacon@jkd.co.uk ; 'Jason Megginson' ; 'Scott Luebking' ; w3c-wai-ig@w3.org Sent: Friday, December 14, 2001 11:33 AM Subject: RE: Fwd from CHI-WEB: Amazon's version for the Visually Impaired Jim, I have to agree.

Accessibility, in my opinion, was an afterthought.
