Re: Size of a clickable area and the WCAG 2 guidelines

I don't miss small links <smile>  I use voiceover on my iphone and my ipod touch.

Another related issue that could affect more to people with disabilities is that of new tactile screens that some mobile devices have. For example, iPhone 3GS has this type of screen and VoiceOver screen reader. Blind users have the possibility to "discover" links, buttons and other elements by sliding one finger on the screen. Sighted users can -more or less- see the links, and even zoom in to enlarge their size, but a blind user will probably miss small links.
