IN TOUCH AND TECHNOLOGY AGAINTwo sensible and inovative products you've
chosen to focus on here Ian. I've been a bit interested in the Nano and
its practical use as a note/memo taker is what interests me.
As for the KNFB reader, UK price hyking doesn't help in its affordability to
non-ATW customers. The inovative part of this product would seem , to me,
the software that corrects for curviture and distortions when scanning with
books. Maybe the day will come when someone else will re-write this
software from scratch so that the rest of us get a look in, (smile).,

Following up the recent discussion about In Touch's coverage of Sight
village, I just wanted to alert listers to the fact that, over the next
couple of weeks we'll be doing more detailed reviews of two of the products
fleetingly featured in Sunil's preview package. I'll be looking at the Nano
PDA as part of an overview of PDA options and solutions for blindies and
also at the KNFB portable scanner. A reminder that these will not be highly
technical reviews as they're aimed at a general blind audience and, in any
case, there are people out there better able and equipped to give that sort
of thing. I'll be finding out what they're like to use and how useful they
might be in daily life. I'd also guess that, particularly with the portable
scanner, price will be an issue given the much lower cost options now
available. But maybe that's the price we have to pay for portability.
