I hope this backfires on Premtke - and Apple

I almost bought an iPad, just so I could boycott it ....

Software patents are ludicrous anyway, but using them to prop up fleecing the less-abled is stomach churning.

However, a quick look through the Android store shows quite a few free TTS apps, so hopefully people know what do do.

I don't want to go all hippy, but my wife has MS and impaired vision, and the number of FOSS apps available for her Wildfire is humbling - there are a lot of people out there who are starting to make real quality of life improvements.
