There has been a lot of talk regarding the I Phone and the KNFB Reader  
software and this is what comment was made today on the Reader list.  I  
thought you might be interested.

Good evening Brian and others,
Mr. Hingson is correct to  state that we've been examining the iPhone as a 
candidate platform for future  development of the the mobile reader. In 
fact, the iPhone was being highly  considered before it became as popular as it 
is now amongst the blind and  visually impaired. I know that I echo the 
sentiments of the majority in  stating that Apple has done an excellent job of 
developing accessibility as an  aspect of IOS thereby creating a fabulous 
device for the masses. Although a  number of OCR solutions currently exist for 
iPhone users, none of them work  all that well. This is something that we 
are wanting to change. Knowing that  we don't want to release a solution that 
would be anything less than stellar,  we are continuing the difficult task 
of development. I'm confident that the  Kurzweil reading machines will 
continue to impress, amaze, and bring positive  change to the world when it comes 
to accessing print by the blind and visually  impaired. Rest assured we have 
not ceased deve
lopment and know that Mr.  Ray Kurzweil is determined to continue 
developing innovative methods for  accessing and processing visual information by the 
blind, with a primary focus  on reading.
