LG have released a new phone for the visually impaired that can read books. At first glance, the ability o read a book from a phone sounds amazing, but looking at the details, the LG LF1300 simply downloads an audio book and speaks it to the user using voice synthesis. So, not too amazing, but a nice touch from LG for users not usually thought of by the mobile phone manufacturers.

The 16mm thin mobile phone also comes with MP3 player, bluetooth, and keypads specially developed for the visually impaired. I was initially surprised at the lack of a camera, but then I thought that one through!
