The age of Invisible Interfaces may never come to your personal computer, but they at least figured it out for answering machines. Hammacher's hands-free machine has no buttons, dials, readouts, displays, cogs, knobs or sliders: it's entirely voice-activated, offering only a tiny condenser mic and curious, mortar board-like design.
It can hold sixty messages, but the marketing copy suggests that it's tuned to "American" English, which counts me out. Why do I imagine that communicating with it will resemble communicating with a cellular provider's robot phone operators?
By gum, a $250 price tag.
