From what I've seen,I thought the refresh and resolution of the display of the 
videotim wouldn't enable print reading, but only basic interpretation of 
graphics.

In theory, the P2RD would be a nice combination wherein one could read quickly 
using speech when documents are easily scannable, but affording one the chance 
to use a tactile display when necessary for other applications.  But, I have 
yet to see anybody who's actually played with a real live i.e. existing model.

My fear is that the P2RD will be like the famous "talking Optacon" that TSI 
overzealously marketed in the late 70's but which, as we know, never came to 
be.
