Anyone know where the blink nickname came from for blind people?  I think
it's rather silly.

  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.
