Just to be pedantic, I use headphones - therefore this doesn't change anything for me at all.

Fail Sony.

Seems stupid to me. Sometimes I only have one earbud in while listening to audio podcasts or if I'm walking in the street.. because it's a good idea to be able to hear traffic! Or for safety if I'm driving I only have one bud in (my car car stereo is broken). What's I'm listening to and what I want to do with my buds is none of my phone/mp3 player's business. It's hardly difficult to press a pause button.

Several times a day this product will be sure to piss of it's owner.

This seems to me to be an application looking for a home. Does anyone find it *that* difficult to hit buttons at the right time. I can imagine the novelty wearing off fairly quickly...

I bet they will come up with a plan that you can customise the settings one way or another..

I don't think I will ever spend money on these since I don't believe they'll "change" the way I listen to music. Pressing a button to take a phone call is far easier than first removing both earphones and then popping one back in again.

However, I absolutely loved the music. Does anyone know what it is?

@Evren - me too, was for the ad I'm afraid. There's a Making Of on the site itself.

That ad was horrific, if that is a masters degree in art we have no hope. The tune sucked seriously if you listen to that on your daily chores something is wrong.

Love the idea. I hope S-E license the technology to other companies.

Such a lot of cynics! I agree that for "normal" listening this may be a little superfluous - but there are situations where this sort of technology could be useful. For example when I'm skiing, my access to my device is limited - and I can't press the buttons with my gloves on anyway. Similar story when I'm running.

I can also see this coming with a training mode - so you could customise you gestures. Not saying I'm sold yet, but I quite like the idea in principle.

knowing sony ericsson, they'll use it as an excuse to keep their stupid and totally unnecessary fa(s)t port connector.

Gosh! This will be so much easier and more convenient than pressing a button.

Who DOESN'T dream of a day when the tyranny of easy to use and discreet controll methods is finally overthrown by just pulling out and plugging in various things into various orifices?

I heard that if you want to mute your music you just stick one of the 'phones up your *censored*

Oh the cynic luddites here... Pulling out a headphone when talking to people (something I always do when paying for groceries) is far more convenient than removing the phone. It just makes sense. Sony needs to engineer this on their none-phone Walkmans as well.
