Hi Ian, The issue that immediately comes to mind is how much RAM and the
sort of processor that is required to allow this reader to work. I'm not
sure how comparable a mobile phone is to the PDA that the reader is on.

Just had a look at the KNFB portable reader and it's very impressive. However, a sighted colleague has raised an interesting point. If we have phones which can talk and which have cameras on them, how long will it be and what would it take before they can do the same thing at a much smaller cost? Any thoughts?
