For example, do you know the Braille Phone for $20?

There is an open letter to Nokia, Google, the Open Handset Alliance and to other companies, organisations, politicians and persons from the r&d sector. Mobile technology could be a great chance for the many blind and visually impaired people around the world but it must be accessible and affordable.

The open letter informs about screen reader software for the mobile platforms S60 and Android, satellite navigation for blind pedestrians, accuracy of GPS, mobile access to map data, mobile web access, self-help, commonalities of blindness and illiteracy, accessibility, corporate responsibility, suggestions for Nokia’s PR and the importance of free software and affordable cell phones for the many blind people from developing or newly industrializing countries.

It could be very helpful if other parties would spread the ideas and report about the mentioned topics as well.
