Complete iPhone 3GS voice control command set

As of this date of this posting, here is the full list of the iPhone 3GS Voice Control commands available.  Hopefully as this is adopted, they will roll out more – like finding a contact’s info or initiating an email by speaking the name.

Start Voice Control:
Press and hold the Home button or your headset middle button until the Voice Control screen appears and you hear a beep. 

Cancel Voice Control:
Tap the cancel button on the screen or say “cancel” to close Voice Control.

Call someone in your contacts:
   * call + [name of the person or phone number]
   * dial + [name of the person or phone number]

 If the person has more than one phone number, add:
   * home
   * mobile
   * work
   * other

Make a correction:
   * no
   * nope
   * not that
   * not that one
   * wrong

Music playback:
   * play
   * play music
   * play + album + [name]
   * play + artist + [name]
   * play + playlist + [name] 
   * pause
   * pause music
   * next song
   * previous song
   * shuffle

Music Info:
   * what’s playing
   * what song is this
   * who is this song by
   * who sings this song

Use Genius to play similar songs:
   * Genius
   * play more like this
   * play more songs like this

For best results:
Speak clearly, naturally (like you are making a phone call), pausing slightly so each word is distinct.  Use only iPhone commands and full names or numbers.
