Voice Commands for Yahoo OneSearch
Apr 3, 08 01:03 PM PDT
At CTIA, Yahoo announced the support for voice commands in its OneSearch mobile search. To accelerate the adoption, Yahoo has apparently inked a ton of deals with wireless carriers. The company hopes to reach as much as 750 million users, which seems very optimistic to us, but we will see.
Users will be able to switch from text to voice at any time. At the moment, Blackberry users can download the voice-enabled OneSearch at m.yahoo.com/voice/. 500 more devices will be added in the future. If someone out there tries it, could you post your first impressions in the comments? ( Add a comment, Search on eBay)Post a comment

I loaded it on my 8830 from Verizon, but after searching received an error:
unknown host us.m.yahoo.com:80
I haven't been successful in resolving the error.
