I have been making this argument for a while and most folks don't understand why I would want this.
My perfect communication device would be the size of a 1st gen nano, or the size of current gen smart watches. (small, portable and easy to fit in a pocket or on the wrist.) I would then have this device pair via bluetooth an ear-bud for making and receiving voice calls. I would have this device handle simple tasks like voice, mp3, small screen caller id and what not. I would also have this device share its bandwidth with a larger computing device such as a tablet, or ultrabook. These larger devices would handle texting, emails, content consumption and content creation. Give me 2 devices that handle their perspective tasks very well rather than a jack of all trades.
The current crop of "wrist watch cell phones" are NOT this at all. They pair with your smart phone and act as "headphones" and a wireless input device.
I'm waiting for ones that the watch IS the cell phone and that is all you need.
But really a reliable voice recognition tech will have to be how it operates. Since the display is so small browsing call lists, etc is not going to be very effective.
You have to be able to say "Call Dave" and it recognizes your voice and makes the call.
This tech has been around for a while but is it reliable?? Mmmm, no.
