[nfb-talk] LookTell

[T. Joseph Carter]

I'm half expecting to hear before too long that the KNFB Reader 
software is available for the iPhone 4 and 5.  As noted elsewhere, 
the iPhone 4 has a suitable camera, though other Apple devices do 
not.  The hardware is pretty much the same on all major modern 
smartphones, it's just a question of operating system and application 
software.

There's nothing terribly unique about the KNFB Reader's supported 
hardware.  All that matters is porting the software to the 
appropriate operating system and working out how to put it on to the 
appropriate devices.

Presently, you can only get iPhone software from the App Store 
(without a jailbreak of course), but this comes at a 30% cut of the 
sale price for Apple.  I do not know if that's reasonable at this 
point or not.
