New Linux PDA For Blind People

[Glenn at home]

But of course most of a company's R&D needs to be done only once, and after 
that, it can be expanded upon for the next generation products.
Plus, with open-source, it will be easy to acquire pre-made accessibility 
software.
Not that this will make companies run to embrace accessibility, but it is 
less of a reason for them to complain if it was forced on them.

Which wouldn't justify it. A few thousand is a loss, not a gain. A few
thousand doesn't pay the r&d cost, or the costs to ramp up production,
or for marketing, or for all the other costs associated with product
sales and distribution these days.
