Espada Entertainment has announced the release of its “premier solution geared toward helping individuals who struggle to read the fine print”.
iCanSee is designed to turn any iPhone into a magnifying glass – not unlike the App I posted on the other day (here). The iCanSee on-screen magnification controls even adapt to varied environmental situations including low-light. Once the application is launched, iPhone then magnifies anything held in front of it by as much as four times the original size, helping users read the fine print on labels, menus, contracts, books or other materials discreetly without the need for separate reading glasses.
“We’re extremely proud to launch iCanSee, a premier accessibility application for the iPhone,” explains Steven Diaz, founder of Espada Entertainment Inc. “Users have enjoyed not only the practicality but also the novelty of iCanSee, which has a quirky and offbeat appeal among younger users. Moving forward, we hope to reach many more untapped markets by fulfilling the need for both practical and entertainment-driven mobile phone applications.”
I think these Apps definitely have their place – and for those of us that are long-sighted, there could be real value, assuming the magnification is good quality (which I’m sure it will be).
You can find out more about iCanSee here, or download from iTunes here.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
