Me: "Turn on the television." It: "I can offer you a great deal on TELEVISION!" Me: "No. Just turn on the TV." It: "Are you sure that you want to pass up this great deal on TELEVISION?" Me: "Turn on the goddamn TV!" It: "Do you want to look at porn?" Me: "NO! TURN ON THE CHRIST-DAMNED TELEVISION!" It: "I really think you should look at porn." ME: "Where's the damn remote control?" It: "He...<i>went away</i>. Maybe you should look at porn instead." Me: "NO! <i>I JUST WANT TO WATCH TELEVISION!</i>" It: "I'm actually being paid to make you look at porn instead. Now sit down and LOOK AT THE PORN, puny human." Me: (weeps) I can’t wait to see the kind of spam these things pick up.

Me: “Turn on the television.”
It: “I can offer you a great deal on TELEVISION!”
Me: “No. Just turn on the TV.”

It: “Do you want to look at porn?”

The developers should think from a user scenario: The last thing I would like to do is, to shout to my TV "change to CNN channel". I remember having this feature on one of my first notebooks (Compaq) in the early 80s. I could give commands like 'enter' or 'page up/down' etc.. Was nice for a sec, and if it worked! Voice recognition is simply not that mature. It is standard on each Nokia phone, but still 0,0000001% of the people are using it. (Try it: just press 'Names' button on your Nokia phone for 2 secs, and bleep you get the command 'Speak now'. Then just shout the name you want to call. You'll see.....) it works but just not good enough. People rather browse through a name list to find a phone#. So dear Mr Toshiba, work on the technology of voice recognition (actually speech recognition) and you only may have to tackle the first problem (that one of use cases). Good luck, and avoid copying the Aibo form factor!! Well, what should I say……great creative idea, however too much product / technology driven.
