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.
