Do we have braille support on the IPhone then? How about a daisy book reader?
Is there a good OCR package yet? What are people using for gps on it these days? Anyone tried paring a hulux m1000 or an IBlue 737 with the thing? Oh, and hows the battery life? I can get a good 3 days out of my I-paq. If the IPhone is ready in all these particulars, I'll buy one in April, but last I heard, the product was still new, and although it works right enough, it doesn't stack up yet.
