| Pioneer AVIC-HD1BT: Plain-Speech Voice-Activated GPS |
Let's face it: voice recognition in automobile GPS systems can be really frustrating sometimes. There are some things that it doesn't understand no matter how clearly you say them. Pioneer's AVIC-HD1BT claims to improve that: it's the first voice-activated GPS unit that can operate on "plain speech" commands. So you could say something like "find me a gas station close by" and supposedly the GPS would actually find the nearest gas station. Built-in IBM software allows you to use plain speech in one of 14 languages. Other features of the AVIC-HD1BT include a 30GB hard drive allowing you to store music in the space that's not being used for maps (which gives you around 10GB of free space). There's also a DVD player and a way to connect your iPod to the unit. The unit is available only in European models, for a price of about €2,500. Original article by Engadget.
