Touch Screen Phone for the Blind (and you)

One of Google's Open Source projects, Eyes-Free, is enabling eyes-free use of mobile devices running Android. Now the glassy screen of a touch-sreen phone will be accessible to the blind. The phone will also be useful to anyone who may need to operate a phone without looking at the screen. Hopefully, that doesn't translate into more careless driving out there!
