Voice recognition mobile texting - Image 1There are times you're behind the wheel and you need to send a quick text message, but you can't because for one, you're driving and two, it's illegal anyway. Now a partnership between Microsoft and Nuance, a voice recognition software firm, lets you send a text message safely while driving using speech-to-text technology.

The tech will be able to recognize verbal input from you and translate it into text, and conversely it can also read the messages that you receive. The tech can also be adapted to include email functions. It can also change the music you're playing by telling it a specific genre or music artist. It's sort of like an early version of the Enterprise computer.

The tech is called COMAND APS and is expected to arrive early next year in the UK, in the new line of Mercedes C-Class cars. Yes, and this kind of text messaging will most likely be legal.

Sony Ericsson - Image 1If you got excited by reports of a PSP Phone patent and you drooled over the prospect of getting a Bravia mobile TV in the UK, you'll be a little disappointed that Sony Ericsson senior marketing director Richard Dorman has shot down the rumors.

"It is not a focus for us with the UK and western European market at the moment," says Dorman. "I've seen our road map for the next 12 months and neither of those two handsets will feature in it."

This is contrary to Sony Ericsson gaming chief Peter Ahnegard's statements during the GC 2007 gathering in Germany a few months ago. Ahnegard said a PSP Phone was in the works and that it should be around before this year's Christmas.

That's a confusion yet to be cleared by the people over at Sony Ericsson. Is this another case similar to the Dual Shock 3 controller rumors for the PS3 which were vehemently denied by management but was later announced? We'll see soon enough.

iPhone - Image 1After a long period of wondering when they'll get a taste of Apple's hottest pie, UK finally gets the iPhone through O2, and will be launched in the UK for a reasonable price of GBP 269 or US$ 537 (VAT-inclusive).

If you're living in the UK and interested in getting an iPhone, then this pricing information will come in handy: there will be three payment plans for the O2's iPhone service:

  • GBP 55 (US$109) - 1,200 voice minutes, 500 SMS
You also need to know that the iPhone's EDGE service will cover only 30% of the UK upon launch.

Once you're decided on getting one, you can drop by any of 1,300 participating Carphone Warehouse outlets to talk with a resident iPhone "expert".
