		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I downloaded a new app for my iPhone. The Google eBooks app was free; it took two minutes to find it in the app store and download it onto my iPhone, and another minute to move it to the folder I labeled &#8220;Books.&#8221; Then, it took me all of another five minutes to go [...]]]></description>

Subtitles, as this app is called, was developed by Dan Walker, who did not realize that it would greatly benefit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Apple&#8217;s rush to debut the new iPad tablet it forgot one little piece of marketing: Accessibility. Apple has an accessibility page but it didn&#8217;t bother to add the iPad before launching it yesterday at its headquarters. And even though Steve Jobs&#8217; keynote was likely prepared, Apple didn&#8217;t bother to add captions for deaf or [...]]]></description>

Intel partnered with assistive tech pioneer HumanWare and reached out to the blind community to get their input, too. But the Intel Reader, announced yesterday, has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Insurance companies argue that many of today's speech-generating devices are not eligible for reimbursement because they can also perform "fun and games" -- like e-mail and web browsing.
