[nfbcs] Cell phone question

[Chris Dixon]

After reading about the new iPhone 3G S last week I have one on order 
from AT&T. If your not an AT&T Cell Phone user you can get one for 
$199.00 with a two year contract and you must pay for the unlimited data 
plan in addition to your regular cell plan.

You can read about all the accessibility of the phone at 
http://www.apple.com/accessibility/iphone/vision.html

It comes with a built in screen reader. The same one that comes on all Mac's
