[gui-talk] Accessible XM Receivers

[Blume]

Hello Everyone, In the recorded Sound and Vision magazine for this Month 
there are several stories on the Electronic Show and they talk about XM 
radios also there is a article on hand held gagets and they discuss a hand 
held G P S however you must touch the screen to use it.  Perhaps we are 
getting closer on companies making G P S hand held units if they can only be 
accessabled for the blind we could use them for a very low cost and they are 
the size of a Cell Phone.  Well it is something to dream about.
