A company called Humanware has announced the release of Maestro 2.0, a PDA targeted to the visually impaired.
"Maestro consists of a standard Dell PDA with a tactile overlay allowing people to use commands and enter data intuitively by touch. The information is sent to the user in audio form using integrated voice synthesis. Maestro users can therefore organize their appointments and address books, consult and edit text documents, record voice notes, read books, organize e-mail, listen to music.. all in the palm of their hand."
This is a very interesting product, and one that makes alot of sense. You can read the full press release from Humanware by clicking on the link below.
