There are many things in your response that put a big drooling grin on my face.
Perhaps the most remarkable is "Apple stores with folks who know about VoiceOver." I can see it: running a Mac or iBox with VoiceOver is a challenge like an adventure game. ZOMG — when do you think the first blind Apple user will be hired on at an Apple Store?
What I have yet to see is blind people using the touch/gesture interface. Logically it's completely possible: I've seen blind people soldering and turning over thin crepes in hot pans and delicate needlework so of course navigating a small screen won't be the issue.
