I use 1.1 with a headset mic and it's a big improvement from 1.0. The
recognition rate is very good, 95% sounds about right. 

On the plus side, it's the best dock extender you'll ever get. You may find
that you're more comfortable with a messier desktop since a single word
to Simon can pull up a buried window. It's great for emacs commands
esp. with our limited keyboard.

On the minus, if you have to talk to others intermittantly (as in a lab
setting), having Simon cover up (or turn off by going to training mode)
is a pain. (Even in 1.1)

Don't forget to add in the Mic cost to the worth the money question. I'd
buy it again.
