OSX's Alex sounds so much better than this...

[abyssoflight]

as soon as he said the atom processor there was surprise that it was going to take forever to load. He then switched to one they did earlier! They try their best to make these gizmos affordable! Its way to bulky and slow,they could imrpove this, or stick this on a mobile phone!

@abyssoflight True But the lighting was messing with it, and i bet with out that disco lighting it would perform quite well.

how would blind people know where to take pictures

[Franz780]

dang, u didnt need to zoom in

[p1eterp0st]

its a cool device, but i dont think anyone would want to read a book like this

its gonna take you ages

[VideoGuyNC]

It's potential is NOT in reading books particularly. The potential is being able to independently read menus, product labels, instructions, etc. As for reading books - it would not be as time consuming as using OCR software with a flat bed scanner to scan one page at a time, re-positioning the book, scanning another page, etc - then processing it through TTS software to read it. I AM visually impaired, and this is exciting technology.

nice

[ThermaltakeFan999]

umm in the desc it says an i7 processor but the intel guy said an Atom processor lol the desc is wrong

[axel310]

lol just put a book in the place and just find the buttons , isnt so hard??

[pcgamingman]

blind people can't see....but they will be able to use advanced technology......

[DarkCraft41]

@pcgamingman Umm yes actually they can. They already have devices like this that blind people use.

Believe it or not just because your blind doesn't mean you can't do something as simple as put a book down and then feel a button that would likely have Braille. It just takes training like eveything else they have to learn.

[mariodnyc]

the audio is in mono, right side of headphones only. ALL your CES 2010 coverage is the same. lame.

[jeffen8]

@mariodnyc no... the sound is perfectly fine

[mariodnyc]

did you try headphones? did you read other posts on their CES coverages? it's in mono.

[mariodnyc]

the intro in in stereo. the coverage is in mono. ALL of it.

[TearsOfWar1]

lol useless to a normal functioning person...I don't think a blind person would be interested in taking pictures also...
