Disruptive ideas for Handset Makers

Handset makers, improve the phone's interface

iPhone touch screen is good;
vPhone, the voice driven phone, is great.
Combination of iPhone touch + vPhone voice is best.

The next killer interface would be a speech driven interface.
A VXML based user interface will make it more intuitive,folks can customize their phone to understand their languages.

Voice based locking and unlocking adds a level of security.

How will the phone distinguish between user requests and conversations?
Simple - name your phone. Everyhting between the phone name and a pause is a request to the phone.
Rabbit, browse the web ==> Brings up web browser
Browse the web ==> does nothing
Rabbit, call Mary ==> calls Mary
Call Mary ==> does nothing

Simple, intuitive, useful - go for a vPhone
