Why did no one think of this sooner?! It's a text reader for blind people. You run it over any text you want to read only to have it read aloud to you by the kindly Voice Stick. It's a concept device, but the concept seems pretty sound, utilising scanning technology and text-to-voice engines to get the gadget reading. However, since the great Hear Wear hearing aid concepts and the Braille Book sadly still haven't appeared, I'd be surprised if this makes it to market.

Granted, the whole "voice stick" concept is pretty rad, but the cell phone's more practical, I think.
