So far most commercial implementations of voice command have been
pretty clunky. Some recent Honda cars have a pretty nice voice system
that recognizes more than 500 commands and works pretty well.
Voice command for a large media collection would be great, frankly. It
would let a lot more non-techies into the party.
Looks to me like someone intends to marry Dragon and Slimserver, but they still haven't even decided which platforms to support. They know it's going to need a computer and a wireless network though, which means that they'll be open to all the same customer support issues that SDI has to handle (firewalls, wireless interference, permissions, performance, &c). http://www.navvo.com/how_it_works/default.htm
It also looks to me like they're still seeking investors and have no actual products. It's a long way from a photoshopped website and an idea to shipping product and a support organization. Wake me when someone's bought and tested this "Squeezebox killer".
