BrailleNote Handhelds Help the Blind Increase their Productivity
The BrailleNote series of handheld computers, including the BrailleNote PK, are handhelds for the blind and visually impaired. The PK is Windows CE-based and includes:
- Bluetooth,
- USB,
- WiFi,
- Internet Explorer,
- POP3 email, and
- office productivity applications.
The unit is 6.8 x 3.6 x 1.3 inches, a bit larger than a large index card. It weighs one pound. The downside is that it costs $5000.
My sister's boss is a blind business executive. I'll try to find out if he has ever considered using a device like this. [ via Gizmodo ]
