[nabs-l] Smart Phone for Blind users

[Jorge Paez]

Agreed Sophie:
If this smartphone has any market it'd be for younger children.
Its a good idea,
but it would have to have something really unique to compete against the IOS world.
And,
now that Android is getting to be somewhat accessible,
we have at least the start of an alternative for people who are not IOS users.

Besides, most of us are so used to typing on Qwerty-style keyboards now tha we would actually be a little slower on braille-style keyboards. I do, however, think it would be a good beginner phone for younger blind children.
