A friend of mine sent me this thru an email. What do you think of this ? Will it benefit to deaf people ? Let's discuss and feedbacks ! :P

I believe that Steve Jobs does not give a damn about deaf people because he does not meet the ADA requirement - as we always depend on QWERTY to communicate with people online or emails.
Poweron - I believe that you missed the information about the Wi-Fi ...and the SMS. I just found out that iPhone has one. See the link: http://www.apple.com/iphone/technology/wireless.html
ADA doesn't involed with high-tech product to sell. Only FCC that being follow such as TV with CC. It has nothing with cell phone at all. hush!
Oh, you are right about the FCC. I didn't think of that. I thought that ADA would be a good way for us to enforce Steve to follow the rules that meet our needs.
In fact, for ADA, it requires the companies to follow the rules if the employees demand a better keyboard replacement or a better monitor with greatly reduces amount of radiation such as an LCD monitor instead of a tube monitor. I am not so sure that it would do the same thing for the QWERTY on iPhone, but this may be a personal stuff that has nothing to do with the company. Suppose, they use it a lot for business stuff. Will it work this way to enforce the companies? I assume not.
Hello All,
Here is the "real" videophone already on the market!

See the picture below!
I know who Nathan is... I took a couple classes with him here at RIT. In fact, I saw him a few days ago visiting for the weekend.yeah, it's such an illogical concept
- camera doens't have video mode.
- no iChat (alternative AIM)
- camera is in back, how you know to put in right position?
- no high-speed such as EVDO or G3.
I would like to choke Nathan. Oh.. I'm such a high-tech-snob.
I devote Apple computers. However, I feel that iPhone is not the right for us because it does not have a QWERTY.

If the iPhone has a QWERTY on the LCD, then it might be okay. The drawback is if we drop or lost a plastic pen for the QWERTY buttons. Then, we would be stuck. You know what I mean.

Maria - I didn't know that there is a link about Nathan's website. I read Poweron about choking him...
I like the idea for the VRS. I personally prefer to use the QWERTY buttons instead of typing on the LCD because it is easier and faster for me to press the buttons. For example, it takes 1 minutes to type on LCD button for 10 letters. Using the QWERTY buttons, it would be done in a little over 30 letters in one minute. Don't you think so?
