Suppose your a blind person, and you want an accessible phone you can
use to make calls, store some PIM information and send and receive text
messages, but you don't want or need a data plan. Unfortunately, there
aren't many low end cell phones that will meet your needs, so you'll
have to go with
You say Apple would never give the iPod Touch the ability to access
cellular networks because then it would impact iPhone sales too much,
but I'm thinking, if you add cellular network access to an iPod Touch

I suspect that the actual phone capability, once you have cellular
network access, is pretty trivial, so you'd end up with a device that
