Another project which might interest some of you is RockBox:
http://www.rockbox.org
It is an open-source firmware for portable MP3 readers.
Currently, it is running on Archos model, and a port to Iriver models is
developed and already usable.
The very interesting point for blind users is that this firmware provides
a voice interface (output), which lets one use the portable device in a very
comfortable and independent way.

Cheers,
Sébastien.
