			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-206" title="steve-jobs-apple-iphone" src="http://www.machtpc.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/steve-jobs-apple-iphone.jpg" alt="steve-jobs-apple-iphone" width="124" height="90" />So when I first read about <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nf/20090421/bs_nf/66094" target="_blank">voice command and control</a> for the iPhone I skipped right past thoughts of “dial mom” or “dial pizza hut” and went right to ”DVR” and “channel 808”. Obviously I’m jumping ahead of things quite a bit but voice automating some common control functions in a home theater might be handy.</p>
<p>The first useful application I could envision for a voice activated home theater interface might be something like “lights!” another could be “off!” yeah I know these are things you could accomplish with a remote but sometimes searching around for a remote in a dark room can prove to be a frustrating experience.</p>
<p>Another cool what-if feature could be something like a <em>bookmark</em>, or <em>look-up</em> command for a song playing that you want to find later. The possibilities really are endless and as the <a href="http://www.hometheaterblog.com/hometheater/2009/04/iphone-ultimate-home-theater-interface/" target="_self">iPhone as a remote</a> platform gains strength, the more functionality the better.</p>
