Seconded on an accessible hacked firmware for a PS3 or XBox 360. Of course you'd then lose all PSN/Live! functionalities, and have serious trouble with updates to the firmware which I believe games require from time to time.

I'd imagine that since Soni has apparently patented a method for beaming sensory information into the brain via sound waves, they'd be a little receptive to adding some sort of screenreader to their devices.
... But odds are that's just wishful thinking.

(Said patent is more of a "potential" thing--nothing's been built, and it really sounds dangerous enough on multiple levels that them sitting on the patent might be better in the long run .)

Sensory information via sound waves? Ok, I seriously think that well... it sounds... well I can't even write down my thoughts, but, nonetheless my first thought is worry.
I hope they know what they're doing!
But yep, I'd love a screen reader on the psp and ps3, but particularly, I'm starting to wonder how accessible their next console is going to be: The NGP.
They're adding a touch screen interface. I just hope that this is optional, but if it's not, then we're out, once again, because I don't know of many companies like apple who create screen readers for touch screen, not the least build them right in.
I'm getting an iPod touch 4g this saturday, 64 gb. Looking forward to playing such games as papa sangre and such, but am wondering: what stuff does jalebreaking give access to?
I know there was an iPhone version of quake done via jalebreaking but the thing with that is that well, surprise surprise it wasn't accessible.
Also, emulators, but, seriously, is there anything besides those that makes it worth it?

As a note, Nintendo did consider making the Wii a touch screen device like their prior DS but decided against it. Aside from anything else a home console is intended to be connected to a TV, I don't see how a touch screen would contribute to the experience unless the entire TV became touch sensitive. Touch screens, especially large ones, are still very expensive and I just don't see it working on a non-portable device. Apple also specifically do not make touch screen based iMacs even though it would be well within their capabilities to do so.

Plus multiplayer in split screen would be near impossible if you're both trying to do it by touching the same screen.

Ugh... gone too long, I missed all sorts of fun stuff... Anyway a couple reasons for no Vinux on touch devices. 1. the support isn't there for touch screen accessibility with Linux yet. Well, it is by ways of the Androids, but anyone that owns one of those knows that if someone without any sight doesn't have a keypad and such, then most of things aren't really accessible without paying for Mobile Accessibility or whatever it is called from code factory. Another reason is that the guy that heads Vinux just doesn't want to deal with trying to code anything for touch screens. Right now, there is enough trouble with making Ubuntu 11.04 work correctly, then try to throw Ubuntu, the Vinux project stuff, and then a touch screen into the mix? ugh... *shudders*

Oh, some other useful reasons for jailbreaking an iPhone. Things like teathering your iPhone, which wasn't available through A T&T before, and to get some stuff to tweak settings that Apple doesn't want you to use. I can't vouch for the iPhones, but I know that my iPod touch 3rd gen, has an 800 MHz processor, underclocked to about 600 MHz. Do you know what you could do with the iPod if it were running at it's full potienial? besides drain the battery that is lol.

There is also talk of a computer that is going to be released in the next year for schools and places without much cash flow. It's supposed to cost about $25 american? I will get the link from my email. The Vinux team si looking into buying a couple and testing them with most probably a CLI based version of Vinux (like vinux 2.1 or something). It'll (as of last update) run an arm based 700 or 900 MHz processor... I forgot, and have 128 MB of ram, but plans of those numbers being changed are in the air. I forgot the dimensions, but it's tiny, I mean like fits in the front shirt pocket of a men's button up shirt tiny, and plugs into HDMI port on a monitor or TV, and projects sound through there I guess. There is a lot that is still being worked out but hey, not a bad idea. That'll give new meaning to the phrase

Interesting stuff. I have been considering an i phone for a while but, i just haven't found a lot of reasons to own one. Unless there is something really fun about it that i don't know about yet.

I suppose i could use it as secondary internet to my laptop. However, i don't think it supports flash

Hi.
Well the only thing I did remotely like this would be to install  win98 on my win95 laptop.
I needed to get drivers for it and it was not supported anymore but it did work nicely for a bit anyway.

On that note, I am seriously thinking of hacking my firmware for my old dlink g604t.
Is there a way I can install revision c firmware on to a device with revision b or is there a way to hack the firmware to install   well some cool firmware that does something interesting.
I have heard about firmwares like wrt and such but havn't been wanting to try it since its the primary device here, still I have thought about that for a while.
I have thought about hacking my digital tv, hard drive, sky box, etc.
I have thought about getting access to a car computer, or even my washing machine.
I mean controling all my devices from my phone or computer would rock.
On that note could android be put on to pc at all or could linux be put on my router.
Could my router/tv speak and have a windows like interface
