Text-To-Speech on Phones: Nuance Talks

[Sean McMahon]

I don't know where in the world you are, but talks is available with cingular 
for $200 phone included.  Of course, you have to pay for the software, $200 
outright then get back in a rebate.  We've all seen the greate news about the 
osis on this list available for $200.  If only more phones supported accessible 
archatectures and could the whole world please get on the same page when it 
comes to spectrum allocation for 3g?  </rant>
