Hi, Raul, The only solution I can think of is for a deaf-blind person who uses Braille. I often use Braille with the sounds turned down on my ipod, and when a notification pops up, I get a distinctive braille message, preceded by a full cell, which indicates a status message. As far as I know, ipods don't have vibrations either.
