Imagine your 2 gb data plan costs about $40, then imagine these new 4g LTE phones gobbling that up in about 32 minutes of data useage. And the new Iphone 5 is supposed to be hungrier than that. No wonder the bean counters have figured out that our communication devices are eating up a disproprtionate amount of our diposable income! And the greatest investment into that future is buying into the hardware infrastructure to keep powering that huge data useage!

Boss wrote an API using Sphinx to get speech input for coding on a Galaxy tablet, which was synchronized over a VPN to a remote test server much as you describe. It had kinks to work out, but the idea was nifty. We got tired of pounding away at keyboards in front of a rectangle all day, so we thought it'd be great to go program in the park using speech and a few gestures.
