Hi Mark, I get your point, but the fact is that it is highly unlikely that Sendero's Seeing Eye app will appeal to tens of thousands of sighted users. Sighted people to a large extend want visual apps with pretty maps in colour and 3D, street view and all sorts of stuff. They do want voice guidance to the extend that while they are driving they may not want to always have to look at the device to know they have to turn left in 300 feet. But I don't think they want voice guidance only which is what we want and the more information (to a degree) the better. I bet that an overwhelming majority of GPS usage by sighted people is in a vehicle and for the occasional time that they may use it while walking they are paying attention to what they see around them and don't want to hear that there is a 711 at 2 o'clock which they have already seen 2 minutes earlier. I have often walked around with sighted friends while I had my GPS on and most of the time they saw our destination long before my GPS told me that we were now 100 feet away and when we reached the destination they had no need to hear that it was on the left or the right. >From what I read it appears we can expect an app with a price of around $100 or a bit less and in my opinion that is more than fair, after all, most people on this list who own an iPhone spend almost that much on their monthly plan and even those who have a cheap plan spend it in 2 months.

This is my point; if Sendero is smart, they'll built an app that EVERYONE will want, even if blind people most of all, and then they can charge less for it, reaching a broader market.
