>The Ray StoryWe at Ray are very proud on our 
>achievements and would like to share with you Bobâ€™s story with you:
>[]
>â€œMy name is Bob Hachey and I would like to 
>tell you about a smartphone that I began using 
>almost a month ago. It is called RAY - a 
>smartphone that has been developed by 
>Project-RAY especially for the blind and 
>visually impaired, and it has been working very 
>well for me. I had thought about purchasing an 
>iPhone and had tried it out, but soon found 
>myself struggling to learn the required gestures 
>and how to navigate the touchscreen without sight.
>The RAY smartphone, however, is much simpler to 
>use compared to the iPhone. I can easily dial 
>phone numbers, manage contacts, do text 
>messaging, and listen to both podcasts and 
>internet radio. I can also read and send emails, 
>identify currency and keep track of my appointments.
>The good news is that I do not need to learn as 
>many gestures as I would have to with the iPhone 
>since all functions in the RAY smartphone use the same gesturing system.
>Additionally, the RAY smartphone offers superior 
>voice quality compared to other phones I had in the past.â€
