I have hopes that the a ROM (eg. UK ROM) with voice support will be released for the North American tab. It is a shame that this feature was removed, but I fear that with the feature, many North American consumers would have criticized the device as being a huge phone, rather than a compact and mobile tablet!

I would imagine that the voice feature is gimped in software rather than in hardware, which if true, would make for a relatively painless flashing to enable the feature. Of course this could be wrong, but I can hope all the same!

In any case, it would appear that the Android3 'gingerbread' release is just around the corner, which should bring many wanted features to the platform!

I'm hoping for GPU accelerated scrolling in apps (especially the browser!!!) and a palm-os-like task switcher (it would be nice. That would be a nice compliment to the system. Something like this.
