Just a small point of clarification. Talks and Mobile Speak ran on Windows Mobile 6 and Windows Mobile 6.5. MS terminated the Windows Mobile platform with Windows Mobile 6.5. Their new entry into the mobile space was Windows Phone 7 which is a toally new platform and applications running on Windows Mobile won't automatically run on Windows Phone. As you said, there is no screen reader for the Windows Phone platform.
