Curitel's new cameraphone has Text to Speech Function

curitel_p1_1.jpg I've really fallen in love with Telecom's Korea's news site. Every time I stop by (every day), I get a glimpse of the future. This latest article features Korea's first mobile phone to feature a "Text To Speech Function" (TTS)"; Curitel's P1 (which is bright blue and is held sideways).

"Using the TTS function, P1 converts text data such as SMS, schedule and alarm clock to voice data, the company added."

And related to this column, "P1 is also equipped with a 2-megapixel CCD digital camera and a 1.9 inch wide TFT LCD screen displaying 260,000 colors".
