I had thought of the same thing for the iPhone. I just finished taking a class at the university on iPhone development. I hope they succeed. Any screen that has multi-touch capability should work. It would be a very neat thing on the iPad, or some of the Android tablets. J.

I don't think it's out as an app yet, but I can check on campus tomorrow or Monday to see where they are in the development. Judy Adams Original Message: ----------------- From: Grant E.

Grant Hi Dad, I came across this article on one of the tech blogs I follow, thought you'd find it interesting. An engineer at New Mexico State University created a touchscreen braille writer through a research project at Stanford University. Looks like the application was designed an on Android device and I can't tell if it's even available on the market yet. The article doesn't mention iPads, oddly enough.
