If you already have an iPhone, the upgrade to OS 3.0 is free.  So, it’s worth being aware of, and spreading the word about, the accessibility features that are part of the new iPhone operating system. Ars Technica has put together a video that effectively highlights functions that support vision challenges and that offer text-to-speech.  I’m embedding the video here to help spread the word.
