Cell phone aids night vision and colorblindness
A new cell phone includes a camera (of course) with “special” software that will augment the image in brightness, contrast, and color saturation. One setting will provide help to people who are colorblind. This builds on the trend of using inexpensive, mainstream products equipped with customized software tools to provide interesting accommodations. It’s a software world out there, folks!

Sounds very interesting, Could you provide a link to where they discuss this software in more detail, or possibly where it might be offered for sale? I’m not colorblind, but know a couple people who are!

Same as the new AT&T Microcell but it has only the details. It will come soon. Interesting thing is its support 3G.
