Forgive me, but having read the article via the link Tom posted, is this not reinventing the wheel, or have I missed something? Why have a Smartphone touch-screen mobile for blind and visually impaired people with specific apps when you can already access either Apple or Android handsets? Hoping someone might clarify the point of having such a phone in addition to what is already out there.
