<p>I’ve used Voice Recognition with the iPad (Google Search) and it works quite well. I assume that it would work on an iPhone as well. I don’t have any experience with voice dialing though. Voice dialing does work quite well on my dumb-phone (Motorola RAZR). I’ve been looking around at Smartphones and it just seems an expensive way to get internet on the road and I’ve been trying to determine if it is worth the money. Smartphones seem like an incredible money sink for the functionality.</p>
<p>If I were in your situation, I’d look at a MacBook Air or other Ultrabook. Ultrabooks are a new category - very think and light notebooks under 3 pounds. The other current Ultrabook is the Sony Vaio Z. There will be additional models coming out this fall by other companies.</p>
