When it comes to getting to know more about the places you travel to, there will be people who will have some deficiencies. This includes that of being deaf or having hearing problems. So while many of us find it more informative to actually hear guides from various multimedia means to actually be lured into such places, here is a neat software from Visual Travel Tours that should address this issue.
QuietGuides is a software tailor-made for the one with hearing problems. The need to learn more about places before actually traveling there is a need and this new software is without a doubt a big boost to travel itineraries and of course boosting tourism barriers for the people with handicaps.
VTT QuietGuides help deaf and hearing impaired travelers pre-plan adventures, pick the best places to visit - from Main Street to Mongolia - and access travel information on the go. Over 115 QuietGuides are currently available, with new releases every month.

The iPhone provides a lot of different options and among them include the ability to send virtual media postcards, customized according to an iPhone users preference. goPostal creates personalized postcards from any digital photo taken with the Apple iPhone.
“It’s fast, it’s easy and it’s cheap,” said George Coriaty of Whittier, CA. “I don’t have to buy a postcard, I don’t have to buy a stamp and I don’t have to find a mailbox, yet for $1.29, which includes the postage cost, I can send a postcard directly to my Dad from wherever I happen to be.”
goPostal users are coming up with unique ways of using the unique postcard iPhone application. United States soldiers stationed overseas send unique, personalized postcards to friends and family back in the States. Travelers use goPostal to capture the moment and mail postcards easily, efficiently. Businesses use it to maintain contact with their customers.

The Freeloader Pro is a supreme solar charger capable of powering nearly every electrical device because it uses its high power solar panels or USB (cable supplied) to readily charge its internal battery (takes 7 to 9 hours on sunny day).

And, if you replace its multi-voltage switch to 9.5V, the Freeloader Pro is capable of charging MP4 players and portable DVD players. Freeloader Pro is the ideal companion for travelers, journalists or just anyone on the go. Retails for around $79.95.
