The Intel Reader
Ben Foss, Director of Access Technology at Intel’s Digital Health group is presenting on this video The Intel Reader, a device built to aid the visually impaired.
Was just released for sale, and sports an Atom processor, 5-megapixel camera, and Intel’s Linux-based Moblin OS, taking book pages, converting to text, and then using a voice synthesizer to read it loud via speaker or convert to MP3s.
Now, is it just me or Ben Foss looks like Jack Bauer? Cause you know, if Jack Bauer approves, everyone has to buy one of these… 
Actually, makes perfect sense calling it The Intel Reader…

I am incredibly happy to have decided to upgrade to Kindle 2. It is much more improved that I believed. The 5-way joystick makes navigating pages and menus much easier. I was not expecting the Text to Speech to actually sound that clear. The “archived” feature is a welcome addition to the home page. All these and other details have been mentioned again and again in these reviews so I will cut it short.
All in all the Kindle 2 is a wonderful gadget to have if you can afford it. And it will lessen your reading bill in the long run.
PS: I hope the Authors Guild takes into consideration all the disabled kindle owners who really benefit from TTS on their kindle.
