DEAF USE CELL PHONE!
Excerpts from Associated Press report by Elizabeth Weiss in THE DENVER POST, 3 February 1997:
Q: Add a cellular phone connection to a computer the size of a paper-back book, and what do you get?
A: A cellular phone for the Deaf, created and sold by a company called RadioMail!
"Something that's designed to be flexible for the business person on the go becomes something that can also be extremely useful for people who need visual communication because they can't use the telephone," said Betsy Bayha, director of communication policy at the World Institute on Disability in Oakland, California.
