I'm right behind you. For years I've found it incredible that we are have to use a stupidly limited keyboard to communicate from an amazingly complex human brain to an increasingly powerful computer. I've had my eyes on Dragon Dictate since before it was released for Windows in 1997. Unfortunately the promise of voice controlled computing power has still not been realised 13 years later. But, the iPhone has re-enthused me. I frequently use the iPhone and Google voice control to make telephone calls, play music and search the web. And it works very well for me (Southern English accent).
In another thread I've made the point that I think single-use dedicated hardware controllers will soon become a thing of the past and that increasingly people will own their own personal hand-held touch-screen smart device (the iPhone leads the way) that they will use to control a whole host of things. Maybe a realistic option for Logitech is to release an iPhone and Droid app that enables voices controls on these devices. I'm sure it's possible.... but at this moment in time it would probably be a bit bleeding edge for a company such as Logitech.... and require much more resources than they have. However, it is pretty certain that voice control will eventually be the way we control our personal smart devices.... and the apps installed on them. Next session I'll expound on the merging of silicon, nano-technology and bio-technology and the amazing cyborg future this will almost inevitably bring the human race. (Personally I can't wait).
