Add voice capabilities to allow us to call. Then using speech to text, you can process that as well.

On the home page rotate different texts within the cellphone screens.

Have a look at http://jott.com/ for speech to text.

I have a feeling Google will be going down this route soon. Especially with their voice recognition being so robust and having so many profiles.....I bet Google will soon be dropping a bomb.

1-800-goog-411 (http://www.google.com/goog411/)

Basically a 411 service with automatic speech recognition. Not necessarily a web search, but they are far along this track.

I think they need competition.

Good idea. We like text a lot because it is so unobtrusive it can be used in a lot more places than voice. But obviously the way we've structured it, it's not that difficult to integrate and is definitely on the roadmap.
