I smashed my talking iPod with a Coconut Today!

The latest useless digging into Apple's iPod related patents includes a feature to enable iPods and iPod-like devices to call out the names of song titles, albums, and artist as audio.

Supposedly a "safety" factor, I can't imagine how the lightning fast speed of reading a screenful of song titles is going to translate into waiting for the "Hawking-branded" iPod to chatter out one title to me.

They want to move it to cellphones and computers too. Isn't it already happening? Hmmm.
