Like the video. Anyone know when Android will support visually impaired users who like using their functional sight? I still have not seen a magnify feature to magnify running software like in IOS. I need a screen magnifier, not a magnifying glass :)

Great functions!

But are TB's functions implemented alsa in Android 2.3?

I tryed it on my LG Optimus Dual Android 2.3.3, but when I touch the screen it doesn't speak. It read just after I selected an icon. But it's too late..

Any suggestions?

I like that a lot. Since the development of more and more phones coming with touch screen only, I was wondering what about the blind or visually impared people.

Talkback works in Android 2.3 but not with the home screen interface. Try to install Eyes Free Shell, which includes an accessible launcher for previous versions of Android.

The galaxy nexus (phone in this video) is more expensive than the lowest tier iphone 4s, lol.
