More seriously, considering the processor in the K3, I doubt anyone will be running speech recognition on it. All the "Wouldn't it be great if the K3 could..." threads miss a key point. Yes it would, if you were willing to pay three times the price to buy the equivalent of a small laptop's worth of hardware. For $139/$189, you get a computer more powerful than my first 80386-driven desktop, but not by a lot. It might have the power of an early Pentium. You may note that not a lot of high powered apps ran on those.
