RIM’s newest flagship handset, the BlackBerry Z10 is a powerful and intuitive Smartphone that Amóvil was able to review thanks to the loan by Orange. The device is completely tactile, and includes several accessibility features that make it suitable for the partially blind and the hearing impaired.

A group of researchers at University of Essex (United Kingdom) has launched a mobile app that turns any device running on iOS6 or higher (iPhone, iPodTouch, iPad) into a hearing aid. According to developers this tool has been designed for research purposes, and must not be used as substitute of a hearing aid. However, they hope it could contribute to new findings.
