I don't consider myself much of a techy, but I do read at least the subject lines of topics on this board as well as the accessible electronics board. Below is some information I've gotten from Top Tech Tidbits regarding a few topics I've seen people ask questions about recently.

Mike Arrigo has made two podcasts on the new version of VoiceOver for the Mac: New Features In VoiceOver

The Apple iPod Touch (third Generation) now includes VoiceOver, as implemented on the iPhone. Meanwhile, version 3.1 of the iPhone is out with many
accessibility improvements.

How times have changed! There are now at least five players capable of playing digital books from the National Library Service for the Blind. Robert
Carter demonstrates and discusses five of them in this podcast:

i believe the 3.1 software is available for the iPod Touch though for a fee of like $5 i think, but the new ones with accessibility most likely ship with that already installed.
