Steve, I agree with you to a certain extent. However, I think that there
could have been more work done to ensure that the machines were easier to
use, for example standard keypads, louder tones to indicate that buttons
have been pressed (I for one have thought that I had entered my PIN to find
that a button had not been recognised when I pressed it) and given the
simplicity of the technology I don't see why speech could not have been
integrated from the start.
Not sure what I think about your experience in the States. On one hand it
does add a layer of security but then again its another thing to carry
around which if stolen or lost isn't the easiest thing to get replaced. Mind
you the upcoming ID card scheme might be ideal for it except it won't be
compulsory.
