Sign Language over the cell phone

Yes, sign language on a cellular phone. I realize that this sounds like an incredibly sick joke, like a Driver's Manual in Braille, but this is a study going on at the University of Washington (UW).

Now, you might think that the hearing impaired could communicate via text message and Instant Messages, but I'm sure that we all know how easily a simple message with its tone could be misinterpreted. In other words, they want something where they are free to use sign language to communicate.

While it is true that successful phones like the EVO 4G and the iPhone 4 can do video conferencing, this feature is dependent on the user holding the phone in one of their hands. That seriously limits sign language if you are doing it one handed
