Here's what little I know:
TEXT MAGNIFICATION
1. A program called Spare Parts would allow you to increase font size for many apps. Does not work for the HTC Hero (OS 1.5). Unknown if it woks for any other OS or phone that is currently in existence.
2. A program called Bettercut allows you to create a Display shortcut and use that to enlarge text on some apps. Does not work on the HTC Hero (1.5). Developer says it may be because of the special Home screen the Hero has. Unknown if it works for any other OS or phone.
3. Browser allows you to zoom in out of the box (unless you searched google!)
4. Do OS versions 1.6 and 2.0 allow one to enlarge text out of the box?

1. OS 1.6+ seem to have some capability to read text on a screen. I don't know how well it works.
2. Speechy claims to be able to read screen text
