The only think it adds in respect to spoken information is the support  
for the earbuds with the remote (like the newest ipod shuffle).  With  
this you can remotely (through the earbuds) have the voice speak the  
song and artist as well as cause it to step through the playlists.  In  
addition pause, skip forward and backward.  The other feature have  
been detailed like the radio and speaker etc.
