The buttons for Blackberries and other PDAs are so tiny they are hard to use, not to mention the lighting may not be optimal all the time. Why not equip them with voice recognition software? It may be a WWCD (What would Croseus do?) initially but it could catch on and be able to get done inexpensively later.

Chris, a good idea. I like the idea of voice recognition for voice mail. I hate having to press buttons to get through my voice mail. I bet someone is working on this already. MM

Apple Support has voice recognition so you can say "MacBook" and it will know what you are talking about. Also, VoiceSignal makes amazing voice-recognition software. There is a Samsung product that does total voice recognition: http://www.news.com/Photo-Samsungs-speech-to-text-phone/2009-1039_3-5676987.html

However, it isn't super accurate.
