All-in-one gizmo for blind people
- 5 Oct 07, 12:41 PM
All us disableds, and probably blindies more than most, long for the day when we can splash out on a truly all-in-one device, which deals with our every access need when on the run. Well, I was about to pop Ouch's news section online this morning when I came across an article by 麻豆官网首页入口 age and disability correspondent Geoff Adams-Spink, which made me wonder if that day might be closer at hand than I thought.
It's an article about the , a product which we should be able to get hold of by the end of the year for around 250 quid. According to Geoff, this remote control style gizmo, "has a one gigabyte memory and can be used as a music player, radio, clock, talking book player, voice recorder and label reader".
While none of these concepts are new on their own, I've never seen them presented in one handy gadget. But please Santa, could you make it so there is a bit more memory, a colour detector, a talking telephone, a portable scanner for text and maybe a GPS device built into this nifty little package? Then bingo, all will be well with the world. It's not too much to ask, is it?
What's your idea of the perfect pocket-sized gizmo? What difference would it make to your life? You can add your wish list by commenting on this blog entry, and Who knows, some factory in Singapore might be reading the Ouch blog, and decide to put it into production.
