Yea that's actually pretty cool. I noticed the microphone pop up a few times using the standard Android keyboard. Another very good voice program is Vlingo Virtual Assistant which can be downloaded free from the Amazon App Store. It can be used to dictate e-mails, text messages (I used it with Verizon's free text service https://text.vzw.com to text my wife or son since I don't own a cell phone), Twitter etc.
