A Special Phone App Helps Visually-impaired Use IPhone
location: imore.com - date: April 8, 2009
Muhieddine El Kaissi's recently released iPhone, A Special Phone (iTunes link), which attempts to simplify the ability to dial without looking at the iPhone's touchscreen. Instead, it relies on other functionality of the phone, such as its accelerometer. A Special Phone lets you set up a list of up to six contacts and then shake the phone a certain number of times to call that person. You shake the phone once for the first contact, twice for the second, and so on. The phone waits two seconds after the last detected shake and then automatically dials the specified contact.

Other Music player app for visually impaired

Sometimes I have poor vision and have a difficult time seeing the small font at the top of the screen on the music player. I would gladly give up the cover flow for a music player app that used a much larger font and larger button push areas. Does anyone know if any other music player apps exist for the iPod Touch (particularly 2g).
