voice control is okay if you're alone in a silent place. But generally I don't
find it a very discreet feature. I even wonder how voice control has been

Dear Christina,
if I had to choose today I think I would go for an iPhone. I'm very happy with
my Nokia for now and I think that the touchscreen interface is as disconcerting
as it is seducing. But one thing you should consider is that if you want to get
the same features from a Nokia, including
JP, the sensitive touchscreen is here. Snow Leopard equipped Macs now have
a touchscreen that recognizes the sensation of two or more fingers touching
the screen at once. Different actions are executed depending on how many
fingers you use. This is true both on the Mac and on the iPhone 3GS.

I don't know if it has multi processing for sl but it works on it, so

You can load tracks from playlists, manually or take from your whole

This is a bit of a disclaimer.
