Are there any terminal software packages for android that could talk with 
speakup from the commandline?  I know they would have to be an actual 
terminal and not a graphical terminal simulator and so am assuming that 
none of the terminals or shells you can download for adroit would work, 
but am just wondering if you have ever tried speakup with android with any 
shell or other environment or software and gotten it to work at all?  This 
is defiantly something I would be interested in if it is possible.
