Hey Gus,
That's a pretty good list. Yeah, it's funny. I got SayText to work
pretty well a couple of times, but not really at all lately. You'll love
oMoby, though, I think. It identified a can of Coke for me the other day. I
don't have too many other suggestions:
Hopstop has a good accessible app now;
MenuPages, awesome;
Most Emailed News, really awesome; it compiles all the most emailed stories
from a bunch of sources national and international including the NYTimes, WSJ,
BBC, La Times, Washington Post, NPR, etc.
I hope everything's going well in your neck of the woods.
Eliza
