According to DirectVoxx’s marketing folks, by next year you’ll be able to control your iPod by talking to it. Apparently, the Muso will understand natural-language commands by looking at your iTunes library. They promise phrases like “Play me some Led Zeppelin” or “Gimme jazz” won’t cause any confusion, all for $159.
The present state of voice-recognition technology aside, we really wonder what kind of gadget magic DirectVoxx has programmed into the Muso to make such a sci-fi pipe dream a practical possibility. We’ll keep tabs on this folks, so be sure to check back for more info on whether DirectVoxx is on-the-level, or the latest user of hype marketing to push a planned product.
It might take a while though. DirectVoxx has set the Muso’s availability on Amazon.com by December 2008, January 2009 in nearest Best Buy. Only the current-generation iPod nano will enjoy support initially.
How about this to other means of listening to your music:
It’s GQ meets geek chic with this brand new high fashion MP4 watch with a
massive 8GB of internal memory and 1.5 inch LCD screen. This watch is a
certified triple threat; it works good, it sounds good, it looks good. The
firmware is stable and the menus are easy to navigate through. The sound and
picture quality is just superb and you just can’t beat the bling-tastic look of it. It
also comes with a 2.5 ~ 3.5 earphone jack adapter for easy connection to most
mini-amplification systems or standard earphones.
