[blindkid] Fwd: You can help us showcase the importance of accessible ICT design at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). It will only take a minute :-)

I just voted for the Mobile Apps Contest below. The bar code scanner for free would be a great thing for blind people. Cell phones have the ability to contain multiple pieces of technology into one. Since most technology for the blind is expensive - free would be a great choice!
