Buzz, some have noted that the MXP 100 would be a boon to those with impaired vision; not just for music lovers but also for avid readers. If one were blind, being able to navigate through one's favorite music or 'talking' books, magazines, etc via spoken commands would be a blessing.

Buzz, in addition to Tinroad's comments, people will get used to people talking to gizmos, they have already and with greater adoption it will become commonplace. I recall using my transducer earpiece with my cell phone 12+ years ago; talking on a cell phone drew enough stares and comments, but when I had my phone in my pocket, and just an ear bud, no external mike, people assumed I was just mumbling to myself...like usual.LOL...they don't seem to notice or comment as much now. When grandmothers started using the cellphones, I knew I was 'off the hook'. PS, I keep my phone on vibrate on incoming, in public..that helps.
I still think eventually a player/reader with a transducer mike would benefit the search process.
