Okay, we have here the greatest iPhone accessory ever invented. It’s the Silicon Touch iPhone case, and it makes using the iPhone a hell of a lot easier for the visually impaired. (Random fact: I’m legally blind in New York without my glasses.) It’d work with an iPhone App to make it so that people can feel what they’re typing, be it the SMS icon or actual, individual letters.
You don’t lose multi-touch functionality, either.
Now, the caveats. This has only been designed; you can’t yet walk into a store or order one online yet. Perhaps one of you have a factory in China you’d like to donate?

Question: What advantage would an iPhone have over any other phone to a blind person?
Because I can’t think of one.

What happens if the icons get scattered? It seems to be very dependent on where the icons are located. How do they get to those locations in the first place? Do you have someone who can see put them there? Also, what about different language keyboards?
I have a hard time thinking this isn’t someone’s idea of a cruel joke.
