Yesterday while on a BART rapid transit train in Oakland, California, I saw a fellow passenger do something with his (non-BlackBerry) cell phone that gave me an idea for a gadget that could be used with a BlackBerry.
The rider was holding up his cell phone close to his face. With his other hand, he was strategically positioning a magnifying glass over his cell phones display window.
This fellow apparently was quite near-sighted.
I have to think that some BlackBerry users could find value in a magnifying glass that could be clipped on to a BlackBerry to make the text in the display window that much larger.
Do you know anyone who might be interested in such a solution?
1. Interesting that you write about this...I just got a new mouse for my PC that has a magnfier function built in...press a button, and a magnifier window opens that I can move around like a magnifying glass. It works really well.
I say this only because perhaps RIM could put in such a virtual magnifier lens function into a BB...press a button, and the magnifier appears on screen.
