Microsoft Voice Command hits the shelves
Microsoft Voice Command software for Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PC and Pocket PC Phone Edition is now available to consumers at retail outlets in the USA, marking the first time the company is offering stand-alone Pocket PC software on store shelves. Read our review of Voice Command.

Voice Command transforms Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PC and Pocket PC Phone Edition (including the new HP iPAQ h6315) into a virtual personal assistant, allowing consumers to use their voice to access their contacts, phone, calendar, media player and more with no voice training required.

Microsoft is responding to increased consumer demand for Voice Command, formerly only available through online retailer Handango Inc., by offering the software through retail partners CompUSA Inc., Circuit City Stores Inc., Amazon.com Inc., Fry's Electronics Inc., Micro Center, J&R Electronics Inc. and MobilePlanet Inc., and distributors Ingram Micro Inc. and Tech Data Corp.
