James , i know what you have previously said regarding bluetooth for speech recognition , but think this would be so cool if it worked , what do you all think .
I still haven't found the charger for my bluetooth speaker so i cant comment on that either !

What is a good microphone for speech recognition? / Linx B-TUBE Portable Bluetooth Speaker/Speakerphone

Take a look at this

I was dreaming ultimate  HTPC setup the other day , as you do , which now will obviously now have to  include VC and thought of my Bluetooth Speaker gathering dust .
I bought one about a year ago and they are a very good piece of kit for the money ;(charge lasts a good few hours too )
this could sit quite nicely on the coffe table etc and i think the WAF / SAF would be ok too
The only problem i can think of is i would want Mic only activated via bluetooth .
I cannot try this out at the moment as i have lost the flippin charger back up in to the loft tonight to look.
Anyone else got one to try out ?

Hi all,
first of all many thanks to jitterjames for such an amazing piece of software , very excited about this ..(you tube vids are awesome)
I need help , i have xbmc (download off main site) on my laptop running W7
Also the latest Vox Commando , i think i have VC seeing XBMC as when i click generate xml it sees albums/ artists / movies (displays how many i have )
I dont know what i am doing to be honest 
How do i get xbmc to launch when i say " Launch xbmc "
Then when i say " Music " open my music in xbmc up.
I am sure if i am shown how to do it i will pick it up fast ,
Thanks in advance
