G'day all,

Does this have potential implications for Rockbox? My initial, uneducated,
thoughts are that it shouldn't as RB implemented the voice UI interface,
which could be viewed now as a look-a-like framework, before Apple filed
it's patents.

Interesting that Apple have gone down this road.

Cheers.
AB

...which, IIRC, was implemented in Rockbox before Apple filed their
"ingenious" patent.
