Have you read the article Cell Phone Reads to the Blind? It talks about a new cell phone that was developed by K-NFB (Kurzweil and NFB) Reading Technology.
Check it out on NPR's website at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18504117. The article states, "A new cell phone offers the smallest text-to-speech reading device ever built, a device especially useful for people with impaired vision. The phone and software come with a $2,000 price tag..."
Wow, $2000... my guess is not many people will be running out to buy this one until the price goes down... anyone actually seen this device? If so, contact me... I'd be interested to hear more about it!
