How does Voice Command work for you? Is it worth the money? Does the recognition work good? I'm thinking about whether to get it. :)

On my Dell Axim X3i I have:

Eidos Tomb Raider | Not Free | here | Good old Tomb Raider 1

Microsoft Cubicle Chaos | Free | here | A break out style game

Microsoft Remote Display Control | Free | here | For remotely control my PDA from my computer

Adobe Acrobat Reader | Free | here | For reading PDF's on my PDA

Dell Axim X3 drivers patch | Free | For Dell Axims only | Updates some ROM stuff

InsertCredit Battery Bar | Free | here | Adds battery power, RAM usage and memory space left on the Today screen

Spb Full Screen Keyboard | Not Free | here | A full screen key board for input

Resco Explorer 2003 | Not Free | here | A better file explorer with Network, zip and Registry access

Microsoft PPC 2003 - MSN Update | Free | here | To make MSN Messenger work on the new protocol

Pocket Slides | Not Free | here | For viewing and editing Microsoft Power Point slides

Intinus Icbar | Free | here | Makes the start bar look like XP and more configurable like the X button actually closes the program rather than minimising it

Other stuff on on the remove programs menu:

Display Off | Free | here | Turns the screen off to save power, but keeps running programs running, eg while using it as an MP3 player

VNC Viewer | Free | here | For remotely control all my other computers

Pocket Genesis | Free | here | For playing all my old Mega Drive games like Sonic 1 and 2 etc

And thats about it :laugh:. Took me about 30 mins to come up with that list :wacko:

Yeah there are 1000's of programs for Pocket PC, some of them good and some of them aload off rubbish :laugh: Most of the stuff I use is quite useful, but it depends what you are using your PDA for. I am using mine for taking notes in my lectures at university as all my classes are in Power Point it useful for making notes on all the slides etc.

Most Pocket PCs come with a transcriber where you can just wright in your own handwriting and it will convert it to text, but I am not that good at it, thats where that full screen keyboard is useful. :cool:

Voice command is awesome...

You say "Play music", it will ask you "What do you want to play? Album, Artist, Genre, or Everything?". I say "Artist", It says "Which artist would you like to hear? Baby Bash, DMX, Snoop Dogg, Everclear, Stacey Orrico, Weird Al", I say "DMX" and it opens and adds all DMX that you have on your Pocket PC to the playlist and will play it.

Anywho, this is what I have on my Dell Axim x3i...

Magic Button - Makes it so the "x" button actually closes the application. Also can turn the text "start" into something of a taskbar. link |free|

Voice Commander 1.0 - the recognition is pretty good. And if all your music is formatted right, it is really nice in the car. Can't wait for 2.0

Pocket Informant 4.5 - meh...i'm not too impressed with this. It's like a dog to load. And by default it is too bloated and doesn't come with options to trim away the features i never access.

this is what i got on my HP iPaq Pocket PC h1930:

Jamdat Worms [not free] US$ 24.95

ChessBase Pocket Fritz 2 [not free] US$ 49.95

Voice Command seems a bit pointless ATM... Best use so far is being able to run an app by saying its name... like "Start Turn Off" for NiceStart's shutdown... :whistle: So it's not really worth the money.

    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
