Apple’s Video Demo of the iPhone 3GS’s Accessibility Features
Making a revolutionary mobile phone means making it easy for everyone to use. That’s why iPhone 3GS comes standard with accessibility features that help people with disabilities experience all that iPhone has to offer.
Absolutely incredible. This may look awkward to a sighted person but if you have visual impairments or can’t read this built-in auditory and kinesthetic access will make a world of difference.

Hey, I’m Eva. I’m 26 and a recent college graduate. I like to write, to take Digital photographs, and just chill. But this blog is not about what I like. This blog is about how people treat me. You see, I am physically disabled. Actually “severely” physically disabled. I have Cerebral Palsy, which for me means I can’t walk, speak, or use muscles in traditional ways. I use a power wheelchair to get around and spell out what I want to say on a letterboard.
Extremely well done. This blog (and person) is going places.

Behind the Scenes: Lost and Found
John Trotter is a professional photographer who suffered a traumatic brain injury and memory loss from being beaten. During and after his recovery he documented the lives of various people who have suffered brain injuries and memory loss and assembled them in a body of photographs: The Burden of Memory.
When one loses all trust in memory, what is there to rely on? For Mr. Trotter, it was photography. It furnished the mementos he needed to rebuild his life.

Sony launches Amazon challenger
Sony has launched a wireless e-reader which allows users to download electronic books on the go.
Amazon Kindle, Sony e-Reader and no doubt Apple will have a product in this category soon. All of this is very good for those of us who have a hard time reading “traditional” books the traditional way.
