Harry,

So, just to get some background on this.  Is there a particular reason why 
you are beating up Motorola on this and not some of the other cell phone 
manufacturers?  There are a few of them out there.

I am just thinking, if you went after, say, Nokia, you would have half of 
your battle already done.  Since a screen reader already exists for a 
number of the Nokia phones, not all, all you would have to do is get Nokia 
to pay for putting it on all of their phones.  Then any body who wanted to 
use it, could.  Nokia wouldn't have to go out and develop, or contract to 
develop a screen reader, it already exists and does everything you want it 
to do.

What did Motorola say when you told them that a screen reader already 
exists for one of their phones and that it does everything you want it to 
do?  Were they surprised?  Did they even know about it?
