Looking for an alternative to your air conditioner this summer? One that you don’t have to lift a finger to control? Well, this USB fan can help. The monoDO from Synnex is a USB powered Fan that comes with a voice control function allowing you to turn it on or off without even touching it.

Synnex’s monoDO Voice Controlled USB Fan is available in black and white for around 2,980 Yen. Keep cool my friends, without having to break a sweat by getting up.

Seems like all of the big companies are focusing on voice. There’s the iPod shuffle of course, the iLane that reads email etc. It’s like they all started watching Knight Rider and fell in love with the idea of gadgets talking as well as users talking to their gadgets. In the end we may all want our gadgets and ourselves to STFU, but for now there’s a lot of jibber-jabber going on.

Add Asus to the list of those who want voice recognition devices. They want “an end to the keyboard.” And so a bunch of Eee products will soon be introduced with voice recognition capabilities later this year.
