What if you run? Sure, it can probably be disabled, but the only advantage is
probably the ability to whack your pocket to change track. What about false
positives? Useless gizmo, just like that finger recognition device they had
at the local health club and replaced with a swipe card device a few days
ago. It looks futuristic, but it just wasn't pragmatic. Eye candy and
feature candy don't make a good feature, but they make these things easier
to sell.
