LG intros e-reader cellphone for the visually impaired

LG's introduced yet another cellphone under its Cyon banner in Korea, this one boasting e-reader functionality designed for the visually impaired in addition to the standard feature set. That'll give you the not-so-special ability to play back pre-recorded e-books stored on an SD card and, more interestingly, have books and other documents read to you using the phone's text-to-speech capabilities (let's hope the voice isn't too creepy). Apart from that, the phone packs Bluetooth capability and can also act as a walkie-talkie within a 100 meter range, all in a pearly white slider package.
