- You use a switch

This piece of work will take place on 15-18th July and will be in Central London. The payment for each person will be

    Hello there,

    Vodafone's conducting research and wants to hear from Android users with motor impairments or physical disabilities. If you face challenges like touch screen use, limited hand mobility, use of pointing tools, or switches, they want your input. The research happens in Central London from July 15-18. Compensation provided. Your insights matter! 📱🗣️

    Either this post is rather out of date or very early for 2024! (or a typo?)

    Hello @forgoodnesssake. As this post was initially posted in 2013, I would be inclined to say the first! However, this also appears to be a study that has been regularly repeated, and could be preparation for 2024 on that basis. For example, the initial post was updated in 2014 (almost a year later) and I can see a more recent comment  :)
