We're fix in to see a lot more choice in accessible phones. And, like it or not, all cellphones are going smartphone or feature phone. Of course, there's the iPhone, and there's Android, which promises better accessibility once Ice Cream Sandwich gets rolled out. But then, we can look forward to Windows 8 next year, which promises to have a built-in screen reader. And today, we get word that Nokia is going to have an available screen reader for at least three phones, possibly more in the future, and it will be a free download from the Nokia app store. So, it's really starting to look like the days where we have to pay extra for access are quickly coming to an end.

But I have one question.

How come I can't use my cellphone to get on 10 meters?
