Mobile Devices To Get a Good Talking To

"Organise my life, copy important stuff from the corp LAN then remember Mom's birthday!"

It seems that's what I'll be telling my shiny new xda 2 as Microsoft release new software that lets Windows Mobile 2003 users simply tell their devices what to do.

Here's what it says on the tin...

Voice Command transforms your Pocket PC into your own virtual personal assistant, letting you use your voice to look up contacts and place phone calls, get calendar information, play and control your music, and launch applications. Voice Command makes it easier, safer, and more convenient than ever to take your digital lifestyle with you wherever you go.

The state-of-the-art speech technology means you will never have to pre-record important phone numbers or use difficult commands to access the information you need. Simply select one of the many commands that is most natural to you and let Voice Command do the rest. You can even ask "What can I say?" at any time to help find an appropriate command.
