I meant to write about this yesterday, but events caught up with me and I ran out of time.

Samsung has been given an award by the Industrial Designers Society of America for Design Exploration with this touch messenger aimed and providing braille-compatible SMS texting services. The new device bypasses the typical route taken by mobile devices for the blind, that of converting text to speech, which negates the privacy and unobtrusiveness intended with this form of communication.
