[Wear-Hard] PDA for the blind

[Steve Barr]

I thought this was interesting because of the style of the integrated
keyboard and the existence of voice-based PDA apps.  Obviously people here
won't be ordering these devices because of the price.

The assistant runs a modified version of Windows CE and features a vocal
guidance system, a full function PIM, web browser, MP3 player, Daisy talking
book player, FM radio tuner and MSN Messenger -- all accessible through its
custom Perkins-style Braille keyboard. The device has a 540MHz PXA270
processor, 1GB of RAM, and also boasts 802.11b/g, USB 2.0, audio in and out
jacks, SD and CF card support, and runs 12 hours on a full charge. The PDA
is available right now for $1,795, though the price goes up to $1,895 after
July 15th.
