"Voice Command" is basically "Speakable Items" that's been shipping on the Mac since the early nineties. You can write a script to make any list of commands speakable with a dynamic grammar. So Sorry, Apple did bring the command and control to the market first. YOU are lying and get your facts straight. Furthermore, Voice feedback is a passive act and not and active one. With voice command, you need to speak and if you don't have a close-talking microphone, it sucks. With voice feedback you simple listen and navigate. It is also well known in the spoken language research that most folks do not clearly remember all artist names, song names in the library. This in turn, leads them to make mistakes articulating, which then leads to misrecognitions. This is a well thought out move by Apple, to trade off storage costs with display costs, by providing an alternative interface, while maintaining profit margins. "Voice Command" may be good, but very few use it on a consistent basis. You are kidding me. “Voice Command” is basically “Speakable Items” that’s been shipping on the Mac since the early nineties.

I have notifications turned on. When i'm in my car my fuze announces high priority voicemails and emails and reads the subject lines over my bluetooth speaker. It also reminds me of appointments. It really impresses anyone in the passenger seat. I love voice command. I have notifications turned on.

Apple will probably have this technology for as many files as it can store. That's the only achievement I see in it. Voice command crashes when it tries to make a playlist for too many files.

Oh and the fact apple is forcing you to use proprietary headphones or a proprietary headphone "adapter". Seriously what would it had hurt to put the controls ON the device instead of forcing the consumer to use their headphones which has crappy control schemes to begin with. Leave it to apple to take something quick and easy to do and gimp it up to the point where you have to stop and fiddle with a single action button with status light that reports what it is doing in a series of blinks.

And the press will go nuts over this new feature, and call it "innovative" and "sexy". And the epic flamewar battle between Apple fanboys and the rest of the world will continue. Joking aside, the only thing Apple is great at doing is style. They might not have invented mp3 players, but they certainly made them chic.
