Hi CB, there are two ways this could be done. Apple could engineer an ui and back it with vo or a 3rd party could develop an app that talks. there is a hardware device for the IPod called ITel I think that achieves at least part of this for the IPod.

Obviously it needs a speech engine, but how do you interact? There is no tactile UI. I think it's a lot like a touch screen kiosk and some have simple instructions saying to touch the top left for yes or top right for no. That kind of interaction model doesn't scale very well for complex interaction like typing an email . Not making excuses for Apple but this seems like a tough nut to crack.
