I trained my cat to come to me when I click my tongue. Seems like I should be able to do the same with my kindle. One click for next, two for previous page.

Yeah, I think it does. It's down there at the bottom, next to the 3.5 mm jack.

Is there any concrete news of a Kindle 4 though? Whats the exchange policy going to be like for newly purchased Kindle 3s if it comes out soon?

"According to the new Kindle User’s Guide, “the microphone is not currently enabled but is provided for future use.“ Some folks think it’s for voice navigation, which could give Kindle a major accessibility advantage over its competitors. "

have pulled kindle apart in the past
is def a mic

edit: also if you look around you can prolly find ways to use kindle as a dictaphone

Same as it always was... there isn't an exchange policy.
But if you're within 30 days of purchase, you can return it for a refund and use that money to buy the new version (or something else), like always.

Yes it does have a mic, I played with the diagnostics and
if you plug in headphones and turn on the mic it works.

Actually it would be a good idea of
one click for next page two for back

I prefer my gadgets to be dumb.

"What are you doing, Dave?"

With my luck, my interaction would be more of a Cheech and Chong "Dave's not here, man" type episode....or maybe a "Who's on first" conversation when I want to open a new book!!!!

Tell me about it. Or like automated phone support;

"I think you said... celery stick... is this correct?"
"No"
"I think you said... no... is this correct?"
"Yes"
"Thank you"
"#$*@ you"
"I think I heard... duck stew... is this correct?"

I shudder to think what I might get if I asked to read Moby Dick !!!

I think it takes less energy to press a button than to grunt or do mouth stuff.

For " normal" people, perhaps. I'm abnormal.

Before this get too weird...

Voice activation could be a godsend to someone who is physically impaired. I would never dream of making fun of that. I'm only poking a little harmless fun at those who have full use of all their appendages and still think they need something like this. But then again... everybody has different wants/needs. I think I should probably quit while I'm ahead.
