>> Voice recognition, do you think it can get to enough volume next year to reach "killer app" proportions? <<

YES! Voice is ready for prime time. I've seen demos with some programs. The accuracy was excellent. Check it out at the stores. The problem is more that we are currently using a GUI interface. It's been fine tuned strictly with the mouse and keyboard in mind. The whole concept of user interface must be rethought to take advantage of voice capabilities. VGUI?!?

For example a simple calculator would not have to show many of the keys(ex. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0). A larger answer space could be shown with just the answer. A user would just say. calculator "what is 239 times 456.3"? A large screen would show the answer and not much else. 239456.3 in large font
a traditional GUI calculator would also still ship with windows for a long time.

Personal information manager's interfaces will also change greatly soon.
