This is a response to Bill if the finger reader is not for you than 
don't buy it but don't cast it out if you have not tried it.  There is 
not one solution for every problem or for every situation.  Many blind 
people do use more than one screen reader because one does not read 
everything.  Each one has it's own strengths and weaknesses and so does 
scanning reading devices.  the opticon is not for me but there are users 
that love it.  Braille is still a very usful and very viable tool for 
certain situations it does not need any power and is always there and 
available sodon't toss out braille either it makes us blind people 
literate and don't forget about braille displays I have never used one 
but I would be interested in using one if I had the chance to do so.  
What is junk to you might be the greatest treasure to somone else. We 
all have our own opinions about what works best for each of us. I use 
nvda for my screen reader but I have friends who like jaws.  I will 
always advocate and use braille when and whear ever possable. I don't 
have an iphone or any other idevice  as I don't have any intrest in them 
but if I had the chance to try them then I might like them.
