Agreed. The problem is that ideally, this "education" would be carried out in an environment with open discussion, rather than having it crammed down student's throats. The reality would most likely not be up to this standard.
I'm with you on waiting. I haven't been an early console adopter since SNES. I'd rather wait and see how things sort out first. I don't have the time or money to be playing around with multiple systems and I rather just pick one after the competition has run a bit.
A valid point. I do know one deaf person and he has a device that already does this with reasonable accuracy. I agree that it could be integrated into a specialized cell phone, but I question the usefulness of it within the context of this IM standard, the intent of which is service for a mass market.
There are obvious uses for cell based speech to text, but how would it help here? You talk into your phone so that it can be converted to text and then transmitted to someone else? Maybe they can even use a text to speech converter on their end. Why not just talk to them?

However, you can carry on multiple conversations at once.
Soon we won't have to look at each other at all! Seriously, maybe this could lead to a replacement for Blackberry.
Apparently just an rumor.

I'd help you, but since I'm on the RoboCup team at my school, I don't think that would be the best idea. ;)
Enermax Whisper series for the PSU. You can hardly tell it's on unless your ear is right up against it.
