Apple has committed to work with the state of Massachusetts to make its iPod music player and iTunes software usable by the blind. Using the same VoiceOver technology found in Leopard, those with vision impairments will be able to access the iTunes store, create accounts, and pay the same exorbitant prices for songs we do.

Apple understands iTunes is useless for the blind if they can’t use an iPod, so they’ve updated the 4G Nano to include spoken menus and audio navigation set up through iTunes. This is all well and good, but it sounds like our friend Helen Keller is still out of luck.
