Impressed by all the new accessibility features! Guided Access seems like it will be hugely useful for both parents and professionals working with children with autism - in addition to the example from the keynote of administering tests on the iPad.

A big yes! As a father of an autistic child, the first thing I actually cheered for was being able to lock out the home button! Such a simple thing will make a big difference. I haven't even spent much time looking at the other features under Guided Access yet.

Guided Access also seems like it'd be useful for setting up applications for "kiosks" and other restricted environments.
