Probably, you should give the www.blindcooltech.com address, too, so
people could see what else is available, like the Breakfast with Janina

A radically new concept in adapted PDA technology was shown in
prototype
during CSUN. Designed from the ground up to serve users who are blind
or
visually impaired, the hand-held Icon from Levelstar (a new company in
AT) provides a 20 Gb hard drive, Firefox, email, integrated Book Share
access,calendar, address book, one touch audio recording, and a music
player. When docked a full size keyboard facilitates word processing
tasks. The hand-held device includes WiFi, GSM telephone, GPS, and
BlueTooth.

There are two podcasts demonstrating this device at:
