The Lighthouse in San Francisco is running an on-line promotion during the month of October. You can pick up a Braille copy of the iPhone 3G manual for free when you complete an on-line purchase at the following website.

This is all good, but isn't it a bit weird that one could not get a free braille manual with the IPhone in the first plce, if they are all into accessibility and I would imagine they offer free printed manual, why go charge for the braille kind?
Not that I am demeaning the Lighthouse at all, but I'd be a bit offended, as a consumer, if it is a great thing that the manual with a device I spent 2 to 400 dollars on costs extra in a format I want.

Not really, when the braille note first came out in 2000, to purchase a hard copy braille manual for the device was $80 or there abouts. I purchased one of the first bn's sold here in the states and was fairly surpirsed.
