Talking Gadget Theater

daffy4u · 04-30-2009, 12:05 AM

I just learned the new iPod Shuffle has a limited TTS feature. Well, someone had been having fun using the iPod Shuffle and the Kindle 2 to re-create scenes from a few movies (The Wrath of Kahn, Star Wars and Blade Runner).

I don't see either device coming up with an Oscar nomination but the clips are kind of cute.

Check them out here. BTW, I could only get it to work with IE not FireFox.

So when is the writer's guild going to jump all over Apple for it's TTS?

It's seems like the Shuffle TTS only reads song titles and playlist names (that sort of stuff).
