I've ridden with a friend who has it and uses it a lot, and I can understand the attraction for users who like to be connected while driving. The speech to text stuff actually worked pretty well. I don't feel desire for it myself, but for me its absence is at most a minor inconvenience.

It does seem like it could mostly be replaced by a software app though, plus some kind of dash mount for a phone.
