As an IT professional surley you must have a program to educate the blind. The iPad certainly does. In fact there is no barrier to blind folks using the Apple iPads touch screen. Would you believe that security doesn't even factor into it's use. I guess Apple thought it was important enough to bother.

In fact; The Apple iPad is one hundred percent accessible straight out of the box. Like many other products that require the blind to install third-party software in order to use them successfully, which requires more money to be spent, the iPad has Voiceover technology integrated into the device that enables all aspects of the iPad to be utilized.

Still standing by your statement "It's a solution in search of a problem"?
Man this is fun. Hope your smiling?
