Now we're all going to look like crazy people talking to our consoles again. Voice commands aren't really that good, my google phone has troubles listening to me when I ask it to do something. Could be that I have a billion different voices I use throughout the day, but it should know me by now. More gimmicky technology for people to use I guess.

That's the fun part though. My wife shouting at her phone to set the alarm over and over, my kids talking to the iPad to see what weird stuff it will come up with or talking to the tv remote to find a you tube video and ending up with who knows what. Not sure how they'll ever learn how to spell with today's technology. I guess spelling is on the way out just like mental arithmetic.

Why would you want to type stuff into your phone in the first place.  Using voice is way faster and currently Google voice is pretty damn accurate, at least for me.  Its been a number of times where old schoolers were typing navigation or trying to search on Google for something and I was able to do it in secs compared to trying to type it.
