> 
>   Some pointers to help you think of a name:
> 
>  * Will implement switch access
>  * Will implement self- and/or user-scanning
>  * Initially implemented on Android & Blackberry
>  * Could make use of mobile sensors (e.g., touch, accelerometers) to
> implement internal switches
>  * Target users are people with mild to severe motor impairments
>  * Designed to allow direct access to the device's own UI
>  * Should implement both hardware (e.g., power button, volume) &
> character keys
>  * For powered wheelchair users it will connect directly to their
> wheelchair interface
>  * Sends external switch events via bluetooth
>  * Is open source
> 
> Looking forward to your suggestions!
