<P><A title="About AT&T"
href="http://www.att.com/gen/landing-pages?pid=3309" target=_self>AT&T</A>*
customers who are blind or have low vision can now access and enjoy their
Android device in a fully accessible way. Introducing AT&T Mobile
Accessibility Lite, a custom version of the screen-access application, <A
title="Mobile Accessibility" href="http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=2760"
target=_self>Mobile Accessibility</A>, developed by Code Factory. The
application features a suite of accessible apps so customers can perform the
most common <A title="wireless "
href="http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=1941" target=_self>wireless</A>
tasks enjoyed by most Android users. The app was developed for customers with
visual disabilities and is available today as a free** download in Android
Market.</P>
<P>“AT&T has long been committed to offering wireless products and services
that are usable and beneficial to as many people as possible,” said Carlton
Hill, vice president, Consumer Devices, <A title="AT&T Mobility "
href="http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=9607" target=_self>AT&T
Mobility</A> and Consumer Markets. “As the first wireless carrier worldwide to
offer Mobile Accessibility Lite, we are thrilled to make Android accessible to
all of our customers.”</P>
<P>AT&T Mobile Accessibility Lite features a suite of 11 accessible
apps--Phone, Contacts, SMS, Alarm, Calendar, Email, Web, Where Am I, Apps, Music
Player and Settings. Each is designed to be intuitive and easy to use for the
blind and visually impaired customer. </P>
<P>Once a customer downloads Mobile Accessibility Lite to their Android <A
title=smartphone href="http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=1841"
target=_self>smartphone</A>, they have the option of making the suite the
device’s home screen. From within the suite, they can then easily navigate among
any of the 11 featured apps just by moving their finger across the screen. The
Nuance Vocalizer® voice synthesis then reads the text under their finger,
allowing customers to perform any number of tasks, such as answering a call,
managing their contacts, writing an SMS, editing a calendar entry, sending an
email, or accessing GPS to get an update on their current location.</P>
<P>Other features include speech recognition, allowing customers to use their
voice to write text and email messages quickly and easily. The Music Player app,
unique to AT&T Mobile Accessibility Lite, automatically lists all the music
files that are installed on the memory card of the phone and sorts them by
Artists and Albums.</P>
<P>Mitch Pomerantz, President of the American Council of the Blind commented, “I
am pleased that AT&T will be offering AT&T Mobile Accessibility Lite to
AT&T Android users who are blind or have low vision. Increasingly, providers
of cell phones and other portable devices are recognizing that blind and
visually impaired persons will purchase off-the-shelf technology if it is fully
accessible to us. AT&T's announcement is encouraging and a recognition
of our status as consumers."</P>
<P>Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National Federation of the Blind (NFB),
said: "To remain competitive in the workforce, the National Federation of the
Blind believes that blind people must have equal access to the same products and
services as the sighted. Smartphone technology is increasingly critical to
full participation in modern life. For that reason, this collaboration between
AT&T and Code Factory is a positive development. The NFB is carefully
monitoring new and emerging technologies and hopes that more companies will
voluntarily take the necessary steps to ensure that the products and services
they offer are accessible to all."</P>
<P>AT&T Mobile Accessibility Lite supports all Android phones version 2.1
and above***. Customers who are blind or have low vision are invited to
