Yes, I got hold of one the same way, social services listened to me when I explained how my washing kept changing colour! Unfortunately it still does as this was a good few years ago and the "Olive Green" one so I'm going to put in for a more reliable source when I'm making my next request for help with equipment I need for my daily-living.

We managed to get ours for £25 as they budgeted the rest as a tool for personal independence. I know these things are a bit of a lottery, but if you wanted one it's an avenue to try. Barry.

I'm getting my IPhone 4 hopefully in a few days, so I'll be keen to try it out. I didn't think or expect it would be better than a dedicated device, however I'm not prepared to spend over £100 on a device no matter how good that simply gives me color and light intensity functions. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, October 11, 2010 8:29 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: The Colorino colour detector > Hi Ibrahim, > > I have on the 3GS.
