"Apple could soon introduce the talking iPod. The device was designed with safety in mind - making it easier to use while driving, exercising, and crossing the street.

The new software will convert names of song titles, albums, and artist into speech so iPod users no longer have to look at their screen to see which song will play next. Instead they will hear what's next through their headphones."

The culmination of Sue Lin Yee and Jeff Hawthorne's wedding afternoon was a 10-course Chinese banquet, and the newlyweds did not want the disruption of an obnoxious disc jockey or a band that didn't share their tastes. So instead of booking a band or a DJ, they bought an MP3 player.
