Another useful idea that may evolve into a future feature: Voice Command within the launcher
- Palm wants the UI to be "invisible", so therefore we just simply open the launcher, then simply press and hold on the gesture area to speak a command like, "CallJohn" or "Find John" to bring up "John" in contacts. Or "Search ..." to speak in a possible Google, Wiki, Google Maps, or Twitter search, then just tap your choice. So with this, anything that can be typed into the launcher can be spoken, by holding down on the gesture area! Using two system compenents together like the "Launcher" and the "gesture area" could open up a lot of new features that only hardware buttons could do in the past.

Thanks for this obvious "tip". I'm pretty sure everyone knows this already. Waste of a post.

I keep forgetting that I can just start typing. I am opening up the browser each time and starting that way. Eventually, I'll remember to do this. :)
