Marissa Woodruff and her classmates at Rochester School for the Deaf (RSD), in Rochester, NY, are addressing a problem long confronted by Deaf and Hard of hearing airline passengers, the inability to get information once in flight. They are proposing that airlines add LED Messaging Boards in their planes, like the ones RSD uses in all of its school buildings.
The RSD 10th class is starting with one airline, Jet Blue, in hopes that the idea will spread. Soon, a Jet Blue representative will visit RSD to see the students proposal. If successful the change may begin locally with Rochester flights. It is obvious that this simple and fairly inexpensive technology would benefit not only the Deaf and Hard of hearing but all passengers.
You can show your support by visiting http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions… and signing the students petition. Watch Marissa Woodruff’s YouTube video about this effort http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHW_L3T555s
Than you!

T-Mobile has added new features to its latest Sidekick, the Sidekick LX 2009 which is attracting attention from consumers who are deaf or hard of hearing. The new features build on Sidekick’s reputation of meeting and exceeding the needs of deaf consumers in providing a deaf-friendly product.
Among the notable deaf-friendly features mentioned in a Deaf411 video announcement is a larger 3.2 inch display screen and a trackball navigator that lights up to alert you of not only just email and instant messaging (IM) messages, but also alerts from any one of the three social network sites: Twitter, MySpace and Facebook.
This new Sidekick model continues its reputable messaging capabilities with multiple email and instant messaging (IM) service options, and a spacious keyboard. An upgraded 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus and flash, YouTube Mobile access, Flash video support and the 3G network capability are now incorporated in this new model.
