>>>As far as I found out they will first introduce such a device in the vertical market, i.e. medical or legal environment, at that stage the PDA will be a bit bulkier than a PalmPilot. Once it has been accepted in that market placed and totally debugged, they will launch it into the horizontal market. They don't want to end up like the Newton, go directly into mass market application and then be rejected because of initial deficiencies.<<< I feel that this an optimal strategy for this kind of product intro. The medical and legal environments have been early adopters of voice dictation in previous years. They both have professionals who have the money to spend on this kind of product. Also they have under gone many years of study and training so, training a machine to recognize a user's pronounciation should not be too much of an inconvenience. I don't think bulkiness will be a major issue, as long as the product works well. The Newton did give PDA designers some valuable insight. I hope things go well for this product.
