I hope they have a nod to Speakable Items with "Tell me a joke." What an idiot I've looked liked saying that to Macs throughout the years. I am running Snow Leopard and just tried turning it on for fun, but it's not working. Speakable Items has been on the Mac since OS 7!
Have any of you tried Siri? It is actually pretty accurate at hearing what you say. I love using the app but honestly, I end up typing what I am looking for more than talking to it. Yes, you look like a tool when you speak to your phone.
And just when that idiotic Blue Tooth Headset Fad seems to be passing...
We have a whole new kind of Imbecilic move to make in public.
At least I'll be able to pick out the winners and avoid a little easier.
I mean really. "Send text to...Bal Bla Bla ...."

You got it the other way round. iOS is pretty optimized, smooth and relatively bug-free compared to other platforms, say Android. Not saying others are all bug and malware ridden mess either. Sure they are slow at implementing features like multitasking, video calls, better and less intrusive notification system, and Voice Control, but they do it well the first time.
I don't care much about design but the general consensus is that Apple products have a higher build quality that its competitors. Though I very much prefer lighter, more durable plastic rather than super fragile glass coverings.
Hardware is where their competitors shine at, given the rate phones are churned out these days. Faster processor speeds, higher resolutions (more pixels), screen sizes for everyone and some upcoming phones will even boast 12 megapixels cameras rivaling point-and-click equivalents.
Guess what - WP7.5 just shipped with FULL speech interface(Call, Find, App, Text). Eat it Apple, you're a bunch of copycats.
Nice, Apple listens to me.

This will be especially handy when you're driving, or walking with headset and don't feel like taking out the phone to type an sms.

After reading and watching the mock up video, I am impressed and can't wait for this new feature. Definitely will help while on the go. "Bitch, what's the weather for tomorrow?!" haha only kidding.
But an Andorid user talking to their phone doesn't have the social status of an Apple user talking to their phone.
It is intentional so that iPhone 4 users will feel inferior and have to upgrade so they can remain in the inner sanctum.

True. And those of you who have fat fingers, but don't want Apple to incorperate an unreasonably large screen won't have to tackle with the keyboard on the "tiny" 3.5 inch screen.

and never again
Just because you don't use something, that doesn't mean no one does.

I wish I could say "List all games" and it would show a list of all of them on my iPhone without me having to hand organize everything. Search doesn't even do that.

I would use this for texts and directions when im alone

Using Dragon Dictate and Dragon Go! does this already. Both free apps.
Not suggesting this isn't pretty cool (I wouldn't dare), and having it as an integrated app does make it more convenient.
It will be great on the new iPhone 4S. (I kid, I joke,. I come from love. Please don't hurt me...)
Edit: 4:42PM and -7 and counting. Mustn't joke about something as serious as a phone.

I can see no iFanboys have anything to say about MSFT beating Apple to the punch on Speech Interface.
