Question: Is it possible to make iOS and Android apps compliant with [Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act](http://www.section508.gov/index.cfm?fuseAction=1998Amend)? I have an upcoming meeting where this question will be raised.

Answer: 
See here for Apple's docs on how to make apps fully accessible: [Accessibility Programming Guide for iOS](http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/iPhoneAccessibility/Introduction/Introduction.html)

In particular:

Sure, you can use a similar feature to VoiceOver, vibrations, sounds, use the flash on the iPhone 4, etc. You can't use braille though.
