Wow...it's so 2001 space odyssey! Whats easier, pushing a button to use something or talking, repeating yourself, then trying again LOUDER, then repeating it s l o w e r, then finally just pushing a button? Besides, how many microphones are going to be mounted around your house? Or will you scream wicked wicked loud while sitting in your cold living room waiting for the furnace to click on. But hey, you can play those i-Tunes!!
It will be expensive and buggy....not fun.
"xbox play U2" Box plays Hootie!(not my box, but maybe yours has hootie )

I would like to control everything in my house using my wrist watch instead of shouting against the wall. Voice control is not the future. Just imagine twenty people sitting in a office, using voice control to use their devices...

I think it's pretty cool IF they can make it work like it should. I can imagine myself using it, i bet it would turn into something very useful and practical - like pushing a button to open the window of a car instead of turning the stupid knob.
