Includes both K-9 Dog Walkers' cost (estimated) to develop K-9 Mail client plus the cost to develop the code that rendered their K-9 Mail client fully-accessible. The accessibility code has been integrated into K-9 Mail. See: http://tinyurl.com/2dvg59h
Includes the cost of testing and fine-tuning this accessibility application across multiple devices before releasing it to market. These costs were absorbed by Apps4Android and were not part of the actual development cost of the application.
