This is just something that is waiting to happen. I mean take a look around you — everything is about convergence these days. It’s about fitting in as much as possible into something as small as possible. True that that approach hasn’t worked too well for companies and manufacturers in the past but now technology has finally started catching up to the ideas that designers have had for a long time. This is why it can be said with a fair amount of certainty that the future of this world’s tech is going to be about that one gadget that does it all for you. Forget about carrying all those little things and one-trick wonders. You are about to step into the future and there will be just one piece of über gizmo that you are going to need.

With CEATEC underway and more Asian companies bringing out netbooks, the action in the netbook segment has gone east for the moment. Sure things are trickling down to the West after the Asian markets have had their fill but if you want to see netbooks that will never see the other side of the GMT, you have to head east.
Having exhausted all possible combinations of Intel Atom and the usual features found in netbooks, the companies are now keen on experimenting with things like in-built 3G, GPS, etc. Take the Nokia Booklet 3G as an example or look at what Kohjinsha is doing. Jump over to the other side for the entire round up.

Voice control is not what it used to be at one point. Back in the days when it was first introduced as part of mobile phones and other gadgets, it was still in its nascent stages. At that point, it was nothing more than a gimmick. This I can say from first-hand experience with older Nokia phones. The accuracy was nowhere near usable and well, it was not something you would want to rely upon.
But in the last one or two years, we have a seen surge of devices that are either partially or fully controlled by voice. Some of these devices are quite recent and represent the cutting edge when it comes to implementing voice control. Of course, interactive voice activated telephone services have existed for quite some time now but there’s a difference here. In those systems you can employ large amounts of processing and storage power to make sure that the accuracy is optimum.
But when it comes to smaller gadgets that are mostly portable and handheld it is a different ball game altogether. As developers already know, it is extremely hard to cram so much in to one small device. Still, newer devices with sophisticated voice control are coming out and these are mostly speaker independent. That means the user can be anyone and the device will still respond.
As I was thinking about all this, I decided to see for myself what all gadgets have come out recently that use voice control. Read on for 5 cool gadgets that can be operated by voice.
