The estimated demographic figure has ranged from 22 million deaf and hard of hearing to as high as 36 million deaf and hard of hearing worldwide. Of these, only a few million are considered “deaf” and the remainder are hard of hearing but cannot use a phone.

for 30 years this group has had to PAY for Unused “Call Time” and are sick of it.

I will launch a Data only package for registered DEAF users within 3 months in the UK but wishes a a network would provide a worldwide backbone for these services.

the first phone available will be the HTC HERO but other ANDROID phones will be introduced later in the year.

I want to hear from DEAF Users – (especially the angry ones that are fed up with the way DEAF users are treated)

I especially want to hear from developers that can provide as real time as possible SUBTITLES to speech.

Switch on the app and anything heard by microphone could be sent to a server for voice to text and squirted back to the phone. Come on IBM we know you love Android

So All you can eat Data Plan – Pay for calls as you go. a Lovely Android Phone and best of all IF your a network it could add millions of LOYAL customers and their mothers and brothers.

Germany is a COUNTRY not a CITY.
