["Scott Erichsen" <pianoman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

There is a voice UI for the IPod, but not sure what the status is of it yet.
are you subscribed to the rockbox mailing list?
also take a look at the website it should tell you the current status. Yes 
it is working, but in very very early stages. The IRiver H340 is still a 
better choice at this stage for using rockbox.
Hope this helps.
Scott
