OK so you are saying the N900 could handle speech to text from a pure power perspective. I haven't seen that for Linux based computers, though. Does it exist? When I typed what I did about speech to text, I was answering somedude's comment about speech to text "but i would love to see the speech to text, where i can talk and the phone would encode that in text and send it. would love to have that feature," and not the voice dialing per se. We were off topic. And yes, I agree it is about mapping a short sound stream, and there are even those command "code word" based applications. The question I have though, will Nokia or a third party provide it?
