It's cool, but fuck all that. I'd rather call people myself. Check my email myself, etc.
Well, in my state, it's illegal to drive and talk/text on the phone at the same time. Bluetooth is OK, though. This is basically an extension that not only allows you to talk with both your hands on the wheel, but check your e-mail and reply to it.

It's for businessmen on the go, basically. I'm not surprised Sebastian and Duke don't see a reason for it.

it's like the most pointless thing I have ever seen.
In Poland, yes.

Don't flatter yourself as a businessman on the go, dude. That's so far out there.

It's also a lame attempt to save your thread that no one cares about :)

I didn't mean to come across that way. I don't even think of myself as a person needing that shit. I don't need that shit. But, I recognize that some people do, and it largely depends on the laws set in place.

It just irritates me that some people dismiss it simply because they don't see how they could use it personally. Well, the world doesn't revolve around you.

But, if you want to argue that the device won't work well, then that's fine.

lol yes, because I care deeply. I came across it on Crave, the gadget blog - CNET and thought it was interesting. That's all.

Can you picture this device to be any more useful than a standard mobile phone with a loudspeaker?
I don't think you understand what this device does. It's not a substitute for a phone, it's an addition to it.

iLane lets you control your smartphone by using voice commands. It lets you open, listen to, and respond to email entirely hands-free. Plus, iLane lets you access and control lots of other smart phone applications, including phone and calendar.

all hands-free.

Don't worry, I get what you're saying. I wouldn't use it, seeing as the only emails I get are from the deans at my school telling me they'll kick me out, or my friend who finds every video on College Humor funny, and sends it to me. I have nothing important coming to me that I need to read as it comes in.

uhm.. my phone does have voice commands - I can use voice commands to run any application or dial/answer a call. I can either set it to recognize voice after pressing a button or without doing it. Of course it won't write a message. This device you posted won't do this too unless you like your business partners to get retarded-looking emails in best case.
If it comes to reading your messages loud there are shitloads of mobile apps that do it. Even the most basic version of opera browser does have a function for it.

Considering that this device will cost some money it's probably one of those things you'll buy only if you're a retard wannabe businessman who doesn't know how to make use of his phone/pda properly.

Well, OK that's what I want to hear.

I think it's pretty cool. I couldn't use it but I'm sure TONS of people who I work with everyday could. It's illegal to talk on the phone while driving here in IL too.
