There appears to be little difference between the version in the latest ppcgeeks oem and the newest version. I can find none myself. The earlier version alredy supported voice search and gas prices. As far as working with voice command Id say no, beyond saying "start live search" and then "start audio" (old trick from IDtransfer if you have an exe called audio in your start menu) then tapping the left soft key and stating "mexican food" and getting all the mexican resteraunts in this area. It does work but this is what it equates to. If I have gps on it will search closest to me. If not I still need to give it a current location via map or address or contact.If I already have gps running I tap headset button-start live search. wait for it to load and connect to network. I tap headset "start audio"this routes all sounds and mic through the headset. tap left soft key(labeled speak) "mexican restaurant" then I get my results. Im actually trying to write a mortscript file to automate some of this for me. ie "start voice search" which will load live search wait then start audio.exe wait then press left softkey for me. This equates to "start voice search" beep "mexican restaurant"-results Granted this requires I have the audio.exe and mortscript on my device but I already have both running.

thanks for all the info

Re: New MS Live Search OEM
 

Correct, the latest ppcgeeks oem superceedes my contribution. and there was an update to live search just last week. ppcgeeks was quick to update the oem package with the lastest version.
