[Craig Borne]

This sounds great, but how does a blind user access the application, if the
iPhone itself is not fully accessible?

  Serotek Introduces First iPhone Application for the Blind

iBlink Radio available in App Store




MINNEAPOLIS, Minn - October 9, 2009 -
<http://www.serotek.com/>Serotek Corporation, the leading provider of
internet and digital information accessibility software and services,
introduced a third-party iPhone application today specifically designed for
those who are blind or have low vision. Now available in the App Store, the
application is called iBlink RadioT and is the first such application to be
introduced in the world.

iBlink Radio allows people to listen to podcasts, radio stations and reading
services produced by and for the blind community.

The reading service section of iBlink Radio provides audio versions of
newspapers, magazines and periodicals for anyone unable to read the printed
page, regardless of disability. Daily newspapers include
<http://www.usatoday.com/>USA Today, <http://www.wsj.com/>Wall Street
Journal and the <http://www.nytimes.com/>New York Times.

Listeners can also access all known radio stations owned and operated by the
blind, and the podcast section offers topics ranging from technology to
cooking.

"The iPhone is a great platform for doing just about anything, whether it be
learning something new or just jamming to some great tunes," said Mike
Calvo, CEO, Serotek Corporation, "iBlink Radio represents all that and more;
it marks another step toward inclusion for all."

While the application offers a convenient way for the blind community to
stay connected, the application is available to everyone, blind or sighted.
In addition to being of great interest to those who are blind or have
partial sight, iBlink Radio is also invaluable resource to family members,
friends and professionals serving this community.
