The company AdelaVoice took a SmartQ 7 and added some custom software to use voice enabled features to update twitter/face-book simultaneously transcribing your voice input, and posting it to your accounts. I don't face-book or tweet, but the voice enabled web browsing looks downright sweet. Check out the demo here:

This is their description of the custom web browser, based on WebKit engine:
"Lighthouse's built-in web browser is based on the industry leading WebKit engine, the same engine behind Apple's Safari and Google's Chrome browsers. But Lighthouse goes one step further, allowing you to use your voice to enter web addresses and search terms!"
I don't know how hard this would be, but I could see some very useful situations for doing this. The N900 has all the right hardware features, well all the internet tablets do for that matter e.g., hardware mic. Any thoughts?
