I saw this on blindbargains.com and thought I'd forward it for 
everyone.

For another year Code Factory has been one of the key players in 
the
accessibility industry, and expects innovation and creativity to
continue and grow in 2012.  “To make technology accessible for 
our users,
we have always strived for the best, and will continue to do 
so,” says
Eduard Sánchez, CEO of Code Factory.  “The fact that our 
products are
offered free of charge through companies such as Nokia and AT&T, 
and
will soon be offered by Sprint, shows that we are on the right 
track to
provide an enormous range of products for mobile devices and 
platforms
and that the barriers for customers to get started from an 
economical
point of view are getting eliminated.  For us, this is a huge 
step
forward into a future that brings free accessibility for 
everyone.”
This year’s product highlights:

•    Code Factory’s Mobile Accessibility will be featured in 
many
presentations and new launches all throughout CSUN.
