I'm considering to get a PDAS since I have to use ti for my business and on the go. However, i'm wondering which one would be the one which I can install speech to make acessible for blind people? not interested in Iphone. So, any PDAS which would be the easy one to install speech?
Anything that runs Windows will work for you. There's a learning curve, but it's not too bad. Having used the iPod Touch, however, the iPhone may be the one to consider. I've been using it more than my actual PDA as a PDA because it's just plain accessible, and has some great free applications that help with day to day stuff. The only real drawbacks are the typing on glass, and the fact that you can't put files on there, other than through iTunes or a Mobile Me account in the cloud.
But I thought the iPod touch didn't have a screen reader yet. I thought they were working on that.
I've not tried this application yet, but I'll probably grab it soon.

if you don't need something you can make phone calls with then the iPod touch is really the only PDA left in existance and its accessible now. If you want something you can use to make phone calls and don't want an iPhone then A windows mobile smart phone Or a nokia smart phone are really your only other and best options .
So tell me, does the iPod touch have VoiceOver built in like the iPhone does? I'm just wondering because I think I might get one.
yes and its great!
