is their software available for this device  that will allow it to be used by 
the blind?

If not watch out skype  the national Federation of the blind just might come 
and get you.  

If it is accessible, it sounds like it would be a useful tool for residents of 
the United Kingdom

Subject: The 3 Skypephone S2 is here!

 


 3 Skypephone s2 
<http://c.skype.com/i/images/screenshots/products_3skypephones2_header.png> 
Although it hasn't exactly been kept a secret, we're all very excited to 
announce that the new 3 
<http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/allfeatures/3skypephone/s2/>  Skypephone is 
here. It's called the S2, and as with the first 3 Skypephone, Skype is fully 
integrated, so you can make and calls and send instant messages to Skype users 
anywhere in the world absolutely free.

Equally, it's absolutely free for other people to call you or message you on 
Skype while you're using the 3 
<http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/allfeatures/3skypephone/s2/>  Skypephone S2. 
Of course, it does all of the other things you'd expect a mobile to do too - 
make calls, send text messages, take photos and browse the web.


How does the S2 compare to the the original 3 Skypephone?


New user interface ? even easier to use than the original 3 Skypephone, with a 
carousel interface which makes switching apps speedy. It preserves the 
integrated Skype phonebook, so your contacts' Skype names appear alongside 
their landline or mobile phone numbers.

Better build, screen and camera ? it has metal keys and back as well as a 
bigger screen (2.2" vs. 2") at higher resolution (240 x 320 vs. 176 x 220) and 
a better camera (3.2 megapixel vs. 2 megapixel).

HSDPA broadband and built-in dongle capabilities - it has built in modem 
drivers so you can use the cable that comes in the box to plug it into your 
laptop and get online.

Facebook and Last.fm apps and RSS reader - convenient access to Facebook and 
Last.fm, plus your top RSS feeds, while on the move.


Where can I get one?


It's available in the UK only at present, and it's 
<http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/allfeatures/3skypephone/s2/>  available to buy 
now. It's priced at ?69.99 on Pay as You Go, and it's free with a contract from 
?15 per month.
