As long as it doesn't sound like Microsoft Sam when it's spitting out your artist's name...
I'd be afraid of breaking that thing...
And I really got ripped off paying $150 for my 4gig Nano... I guess it was two years ago.

Eighty dollars for an "ultra-wearable" device smaller than a battery?

I think I'll stick with just singing songs when I walk, thank you.



I'm interested to hear how the voice will handle artists with unusual names/song titles.

It'll sound like Q*Bert.



Although it does have a fighting chance...

iPod shuffle can speak 14 languages including English, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.

So it's either a 4gig iPod with room needed for the voice, or it's got more than 4 gigs.

Actually, voice synthesis doesn't require that much storage. I'm sure it fit easily into the firmware.
