It's been a long time since Google has released a major version of its Android operating system, and all indications are that the next version will be a big deal. Google is likely to unveil Android 4.5 during its IO event in San Francisco in late June. While there has been incremental accessibility improvements to Android over the past few months, many are hoping for some major leaps forward with this release.
Inspired by a list from Jonathan Mosen for Apple's iOS 8, here are my top 10 accessibility wishes for the next version of Android.

One of the challenges of flying with a service animal is having access to relief areas when you're at the airport. I have experienced a handful of times when I had a connecting flight to get to, but I didn't have time to relieve my dog because the relieving area was outside of the airport. According to Gizmodo, a partnership between Delta Airlines and the Detroit Airport has led to the creation of an indoor relieving area inside the terminal. Dogs will have the choice of both artificial turf or real grass and when your pup is finished relieving, you hit a button which turns on sprinklers to wash down the waste. As a service animal user, I hope this is a trend that we see in more airports.

Earlier this year, Google announced that it was developing contact lenses that would be able to detect a person's glucose levels. Now, according to the Telegraph, they've gone one step further and filed a patin for contact lenses with imbedded microscopic cameras. The camera would allow the user to take a picture of whatever was in their direct line of sight, and they would be able to control the camera through blinking patterns. The sensors in the cameras could be able to detect light, color, objects, and even faces. This technology could be an amazing asset to a blind user by pairing the contact lenses with a mobile app for object recognition and even warning the user about upcoming obstacles or mobility hazards.

We wanted to alert you to a scam involving fake Paypal transaction notices via Email which was reported by one of our users.
The message was pretending to be an official notice from Paypal that payment was sent for an ad. It included several red flags, however including this sentence which perhaps was the most obvious: "payment has been deducted from the buyer's account and has been "APPROVED"but
will not be credited to your account until the shipment reference/tracking number
is sent to us for shipment verification and this is done to secure both the buyer
and the seller against any fraudulent activities."" Paypal would not hold your money until a tracking number has been sent. If you receive a payment notice from Paypal or another service and are unsure if it is legitimate, log into the website directly and look through your recent transactions to verify the purchase.
While these types of scams are nothing new, it's always good to exercise due diligence when receiving Email related to a amoxicillin over the counter to ensure it is not a fraud. The text of the message is below. Names have been removed for security.

David Woodbridge recently took a Qantas flight from Melbourne to Sydney. During the flight, he had the option of testing out the in-flight entertainment system on an iPad provided by the airline. He really didn't know what to expect, but he was optimistic. Much to his surprise, triple click home turned on VoiceOver, and the entertainment app was very compatible with VoiceOver. He even said in his blog post on AppleVis that he was so excited about the accessibility of the system that he lost all track of time. Since the iPad is the most popular tablet, hopefully other airlines will follow in Qantas's footsteps, and offer accessible in-flight entertainment for their customers. If you've experienced other in-flight entertainment options on other airlines that were accessible, tell us about your experience in the comments.
