As far as target audience, I see it as being yourng professional (heading
to be a professional) blind people. A sign maker pointed out to me why the
overwhelming majority of blind people don't read braille. According to
information he had, well over half of the blind people in america are over
the age of 65. Let's face it, retired people are not likely to have the
moitvation to learn braille. I don't know what the litteracy statistic for
blind people under the age of about 35 are.

If one isn't willing to learn at least rudimentary braille, then I would
doubt the person's need for a pda anyway. But once a workable PDA was
arround, getting a normal keyboard isn't too tough.
