There’s not much I can add to this, Akihabara News said it all really, but it looks like a video game controller more than it does anything. I understand that the blind do not need a display, but how would we set up things? PC interface I guess. I know we have a couple readers that are blind since I signed them up here, so I hope they find this device interesting. I think is great how much technology has been able to help those that have lost their eyesight.

The VoiceSense is a PDA running Windows CE and equipped with great features such as a vocal guiding system, unique keyboard, possibility to write documents, PIM system (schedule, alarms, tasks, contact list…), internet browser (mail function), calculator, MP3 player, radio tuner, MSN Messenger…all using a WiFi wireless connection. Sd and CF cards can also be used.

The dimensions (188×77x25mm) and weight (266g) make it an easily transportable product. Expect it to hit the shelves next week (July 21st) in Japan, for (a sadly expensive) 1560?.
