DirectVoxx Muso Promises Voice Control for the 3G iPod Nano by Dec 2008/Jan 2009

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.
