[Ct-nfb] product reviews?

[David Andrews]

You have already been pointed to the APH site -- they do some 
reviews.  There are other reviews out there, however, most of them 
are for higher priced items, not smaller things like talking watches 
etc.  You could subscribe to our electronics-talk list and ask there:

http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/electronics-talk_nfbnet.org

to subscribe.  The nfb, at nfb.org also publishes reviews, has a 
technology blog etc., just look around.
