features the text of over three hundred newspapers, forty magazines, and 
wire feeds, plus personalized television listings.  This breakthrough access 
method will allow NFB-NEWSLINE® subscribers to easily view online and 
download their favorite publications with their iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.



                  Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National Federation of

                  "We are proud to offer our subscribers this new exciting

White, director of the NFB-NEWSLINE® program for the National Federation of 
the Blind.



                  David DeNotaris, a blind professional, said: "Access 
equals success, and we have access to more newspapers, magazines and TV 
listings then ever before!  So far I've used NFB-NEWSLINE® Mobile at the 
pool, on the treadmill, on the train, while waiting for breakfast at the 
diner, and I am sure lots of other places to come!  I really enjoy my 
iPhone, and now that NFB-NEWSLINE® is on it, I can't put it down!  Great 
job, NFB-NEWSLINE® team!"
