LG e-book reader cellphone unveiled

LG did not forget the visually handicapped by unveiling a new cellphone which comes with a built-in e-book reader. This e-book reader cellphone is capable of reading from a text e-book or an audio e-book which is stored on a microSD memory card. The new cellphone comes in a slider form factor and is equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, enabling it to function as a walkie-talkie over a distance of 100m. There is no word on pricing and availability at the moment. Hopefully, the introduction of this handset will spur more visually impaired people to take up the cellphone as an everyday communications device.
