Talk to the Palm

Check it out. Voice Command for PDA's. This sounds cool, but I don't think I should get it. Imagine the compex my PocketPC would have if it could understand the things I typically say to it.

What? Your battery is dying again? How can you be so useless?

Where the hell am I? Why can't you have a normal operating system like a real computer?

See? I've lined up your little infrared deal with the laptop's little infrared deal. He sees you just fine. Why can't you be more like him?

Hello? I'm tapping the little pen thing on the little icon. See? Tap. Tap. Tap. Is anybody there?

If I had waited just three weeks, I could have bought one of those T Mobile phone PocketPCs. Now that would have been useful.

You're this close, mister. One more screwup and I'm dusting off the Palm.
