Asustek is trying to further cash in on the huge success of its Eee PC netbook range. It has some very ambitious plans and innovative products up its sleeve. One of those innovations happens to be voice-controlled Eee PCs.
The voice-controlled Eee PCs cropped up for the first time during CeBit 2009 in Germany. Asus Chairman Johnny Shih had expressed his keen desire to witness the end of the keyboard during his CeBit keynote address. Asus CEO Jerry Shen has now revealed that Eee PCs with voice-recognition functionality will be ready by the end of 2009.
"The first Eee PC or Eee Top products implementing voice-recognition and features will be ready by Q3/Q4 2009 – with our dedicated development team working with third parties in both Japan and the US and reporting directly to me. So this is something we will see very soon, later this year." Shen told Tech Radar.
Asus will have to come up with a truly remarkable voice-recognition technology to even pose a threat to our beloved keyboard.
