have you heard about some accessible Archos models? unfortunately, those models
have been discontinued but you may still find some of them on ebay for example.
A firmware adding talking feature to those models can be installed to replace
the original archos one. it's called rockbox and it's open-source. I have one
and i'm happy with it, i'm totally blind and it's totally usable for us.
more info here: www.rockbox.org
