Default Microsoft Releases Voice Command 1.6 for Smartphone

http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&osId=804&jid=1DD2B53F1BD643FE1EEC9C6396F332C1&N=4294922199&Ntt=voice%20command&productId=199595&R=199595#description1

"Voice Command transforms your Smartphone into your own virtual personal assistant, letting you use your voice to look up contacts, make phone calls, get calendar information, play and control your music, as well as start programs. Voice Command makes it easier and more convenient than ever to take your digital lifestyle with you wherever you go."

You waited and waited and whined and now it is here! Voice Command not only now officially runs on our Smartphones, it also supports Bluetooth headsets. It's not cheap, $39.99. I have found from its first incarnation that it has always been a good application. However it doesn't seem to work on the BlackJack.

$39.99 for software that should have been included in the operating system is outrageous. I hope someone is able to come up with a more reasonably priced (and most likely) better alternative.

Default Upgrade cost?

What's the upgrade cost if you have an earlier version?

Default Handango makes me furious!!!

Is Handango's upgrade for the PPC platform only? Handango recognized my email address and I purchased the upgrade, but then it was for WM for PPC only! When I identify my device as a smartphone (T-Mo SDA), it says I am not eligible for the upgrade price! 1.6 is the first version compatible with smartphone, so how can they offer an upgrade price for it but not count 1.5 when considering eligibility? Is this Handango ripping us off again?

So far it will not work on the BlackJack. It installs fine and starts up but there is never a response to a command.

It's a pretty piggy application to be installing in Main Memory. ~4MB is all the free space I have on my SDA (3MB of PIM and 3MB of email doesn't help of course).
