Sprint and Code Factory team up to deliver free Android accessibility app
Sprint, Boost and Virgin customers heading to the Android Market might notice something new called Wireless Accessibility (really just a rebranding of Mobile Accessibility). The app, designed by Code Factory, normally costs $99, but Sprint has struck a deal to offer it for free to its postpaid subscribers. The software delivers a simplified interface and provides audio prompts in synthesized Spanish and English to aid in navigation. The ability to have the phone announce what your finger is hovering over is particularly useful for the blind and those with poor eyesight who face even more obstacles in a world increasingly dominated by touchscreens.

AT&T intros free Android accessibility solution for visually impaired (video)
If you or somebody you know is blind or visually impaired, then you'll definitely want to take note of AT&T's latest offering for its Android phones, which is certainly more charitable than its prior solution. For a limited time, the carrier is distributing a free, customized version of Mobile Accessibility, an app that provides voice cues and assistance for completing many common tasks on Google-powered smartphones. Users will find the ability to place calls, send email and text messages, set alarms, browse the web, find their current location and more. With voice synthesis provided by Nuance Vocalizer, the app traditionally retails for $99 in the Android Market -- so it might be wise to act quickly on this one. To learn more about Mobile Accessibility Lite, you'll find a quick video tour and the full PR after the break.
