DHHSC Bits Reader ran across this in a review of the international consumer electronic show:

“There’s always room for mobile handheld devices with big displays, even those that perform just one function. Krown Manufacturing of Fort Worth, Texas, which has for many years produced special TTY devices for the hearing impaired, has produced a handheld computer just for learning sign language. By tapping with a finger on the on-screen keyboard, you can look up a word, and then see a video of a sign language professor demonstrating the sign language equivalent of that word. It’s a nifty demonstration of using familiar technologies for a dedicated purpose.”
