  • Not really sure, what do you know about it?

    I read and heard that it was going to be selling for $199.00 which seems to me to be a real bargain.

  • Don't they have sounds associated with each part of the screen that you touch?

    Most programs do so it's not that hard for blind people to learn what noises each commands do.

    They also have text to speech programs to read aloud what's on web pages.

    I know Dragon Systems had speech recognition programs for Window OS, I'm not sure if it's made for the iPhone yet.

    So there are ways that blind people can use that tech.

  • If it is easy to operate for the blind and it has step by step navigation will they have to use headphones to hear the phone?

  • That's a really good point. It's amazing how we forget how everything is oriented to the same type of person with the same physical capabilities.
