Hi gang. I thought the following press release might be of interest:

Orbit Research Introduces iBill Talking Banknote Identifier

Priced at $99, the iBill is a breakthrough in independent living for the
blind and visually impaired
WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Orbit Research today announced
the introduction of the iBill, the world's first affordable Talking
Banknote Identifier for the blind and the visually impaired. Priced at
$99, the 1.5 ounce, pager-sized iBill represents a breakthrough in
enabling the blind and the visually impaired community achieve
independence in the everyday necessity of using paper currency, which
sighted people take for granted. At about a third of the cost of
existing devices, the iBill offers unrivaled features, ease of use and
accuracy of identification.

The iBill is an exceptionally convenient and affordable solution that
can be used by each and every blind or visually impaired individual.
Measuring just 3 inches by 1.6 inches by 0.7 inches, the ultra-slim and
compact "key-fob" design provides the ultimate in convenience, allowing
it to be carried unobtrusively in a pocket, purse, clipped to the belt
or attached to a keychain or lanyard. Among the features that set it
apart from other such devices are the extremely high accuracy (better
than 99.9%) and the near-instantaneous speed (less than one second in
most cases) with which it identifies banknotes.

The iBill is designed with the sole purpose of providing the simplest,
fastest and most accurate means to identify U.S. banknotes. Its unique
ergonomic design permits easy and intuitive use without the need for any
training or practice. Upon insertion of a banknote into the device, its
denomination is identified at the press of a button. Based on the user's
preference, the denomination is announced by a clear and natural voice,
or by tone or vibration for privacy. The unit identifies all U.S.
banknotes in circulation and recognizes them in any orientation.
Banknotes in poor physical condition are indicated as unidentifiable and
are not misread. The unit is also upgradeable to recognize new banknote
designs.

The iBill achieves all of this while operating on a single, commonly
available AAA battery which lasts for over a year with typical use. Its
durable construction and sealed design ensure trouble-free use. The unit
is backed by a one-year warranty from Orbit Research, and toll-free
customer support.

"Orbit Research has once again demonstrated its commitment to the
development of breakthrough technology and products that make a direct
and measurably positive impact to the daily lives of the community we
serve," said Michael Nolan, President of Orbit Research.

Orbit Research has filed patents on the technologies employed in the
iBill, which enable its groundbreaking compactness, performance and
features.

Samples of the iBill are available for evaluation now and Orbit Research
is accepting orders.

Specializing in the development and manufacture of products for people
with disabilities, Orbit Research's mission is to employ cutting-edge
technology to develop innovative and affordable products that are
essential for an independent and productive lifestyle.
