Tactile Phone

By: Nikko Van Stolk

Released: This is still a concept phone. No release date is planned.

Cost: Unknown

Primary Function
The name of it alone means perceptible by touch. It allows those who are visually impaired to have a cell phone. Instead of visual numbers, braille numbers are used. In fact, braille is used for everything on this phone. The phone uses electrical pulses to simulate braille.

First Hand Impression
I believe this will be a wonderful tool for those who are visually impaired. They will be able to do everything(check email, internet access, caller id, etc) one their cell phone just like everyone else.
