Here’s an interesting idea. A designer named Bruno Fosi envisioned the silicon case pictured above to allow visually impaired people to use the iPhone. The case is engraved with modified bas-relief buttons that correspond to a modified homescreen and is should work in tandem with a specially prepared application to add accessibility functions like text to speech and moon type tactile feedback. As a result, none of the iPhone’s functions are compromised, multi-touch and finger flicking included.
In a word – brilliant! Hopefully, someone will pick the idea and actually do something about it.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
