I went to RevEd yesterday and had the pleasure of trying out the reader – along with my 12 year old dyslexic son. I was most impressed – effectively this is a hand held computer (hence the price). The inventor behind the product was there – I did make a suggestion that the Intel store in Santa Clara perhaps have this product available for people to see – hopefully this will come about and then the person in 94043 area can see it too.

I can understand the issues of price – but at the end of the day the inability to read vs the ability to read is in my mind PRICELESS and worth every penny.

When you are on the other side of this type of disability a product like this that can open up the world and can be used in such an effective way is a God send.

I would also add that this product is the only product endorsed by the Dyslexia Association.

I saw my sons eyes light up when he realized what this product could do for him in terms of reading, staying current, and working along side other children. like I say PRICELESS

I also can see where this will be invaluable to people who are loosing their vision.

Intel is silently leading in an area that many people just don’t want to talk about. Imagine the indicators are that 1 in 5 are dyslexic and many teachers and educators turn a blind eye (excuse the pun) to such an epidemic.

Dick, Intel haven’t announced any plans yet on retail. There is a list of companies that will also be selling the INtel Reader and perhaps you can chekc if any of them have stores or redistributors near you.

Sounds great.

Where can a person try out the Intel Reader? I’m at zip 94043. Haven’t been able to find a bricks and board store where they are demonstrated. Only online?
