Voice Control, lets have it now!

I want to walk into my kitchen and ask my fridge what's for dinner. Throw that food into my super-oven which will cook it for me.

Then I can chat to the kettle and ask for a hot chocolate.

"TV, switch on, go to channel 4, celebrity big brother" heh heh.

"Sky Plus, please record Mock The Week"

"Bath, fill yourself at 10pm, usual warmth setting"

"PC switch on, check my emails, go to The Inq site, pc let me know if I have any emails from contacts in my family and friends group."

That's what I want, why don't we have it? There has been voice control since I was a child, I even used a program to create voice on a BBC computer.

I really want it on my mobile too!

Tomtom, I know that they have some form of it on their satnav, so please can we have it at home?

And I would love it on my car, "Car, drive me to work while I sleep in the back"

.. and it's been pretty good.

2 issues.

1...The online features are simply a joke. Almost not worth bothering with. The advertising blurb suggests streaming from all DNLA supported devices, not true. Only certain media types (music) can be played.

2...It takes ages to turn on, & never tunes to the channel you select on the remote to turn it on. Incorporating computers into TV's is all well and good, but not so great if you have to wait 10 seconds for it to boot up becore you can change channels.
