So in order to have a phone I can actually do more than just dial numbers on, not only do I have to get one of the most expensive phones in the store, but I then have to pay an additional $295. But the rest of the world gets their phones for as little as ... ehhem ... free. Did somebody say ripoff? Give me an open source screen reader for my phone. I mean someone is actually developing a free open source screen reader for Winblows now. Is it so hard to do it for the phone too? Hmm. Maybe I could get one of those new Linux-powered phones. Maybe Speakup can work with it. That would be very nice. I would have to get a more expensive phone, but I would support free and open source software in the process. - -- I've always found anomalies to be very relaxing.
