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.

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.

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.
