SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 4, 2004--One Voice Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:ONEV - News), developer of 4th Generation voice solutions for the Telecom and Interactive Multimedia markets, today announced that Microsoft will be demonstrating One Voice Technologies' soon-to-be released Media Center Communicator™ in the Windows Hardware Showcase at the 2004 Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC). WinHEC brings the PC industry together each year to explore the future for the Windows platform and is being held May 4-7, 2004 in Seattle at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center. The Windows Hardware Showcase will enable visitors to see firsthand what the future holds for Windows-based solutions.

Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 is available pre-installed on Media Center PCs and delivers advanced computing, plus easy-to-use integrated digital entertainment including live and recorded television, movies, music, photos and radio.

Imagine walking into your family room and speaking into your remote control to play music, watch TV, read and send e-mail, call to order a pizza or instant message a friend. Our Media Center Communicator delivers on this vision and will be available to consumers this summer."

Satellite Radio right now has no reason to switch over for 90% of the people out there. The remaining 10% either hate the current status of commercial radio (10-15 min breaks, the same song every hour, shitty advertising, awful formats, etc) or are tech junkies that just like having the new products.

How the hell can you seperate yourself from free radio if you're a Sat radio company, since the music is the same, the news is the same, and the broadcast games are the same (locally, anyway). There's only one factor that makes radio successful, left:

Talent (a very select few Talkers). O&A are the only ones who have proven national success that aren't under contractual obligation. No brainer.

Whether you think the companies will fail or not isn't important. You can bet your ass though that they're going to try the only major element their product is lacking currently.

Seriously. I'll pay it back.

You should run a bank.

Isn't that the same theory behind Credit Card companies offering you bigger limits when you start fucking up your credit?

I personally have NEVER had a balance on a credit card, and the banks hate people like me because they dont make a cent off of me (other than the fact that I patronize places that pay annually to accept their card).
