There is lots of stuff on digg.com about the microsoft player, which
should be out by christmas.
I think that it is good the the 6th jen of ipods will talk, but they
did not make it for blind people, as the article in the emamil sent to
this list says, its more about saftey, infact, i don't think it
mensioned blind people at all.
