iPhones May Be Getting Voice Control After All (AAPL)

One of the biggest features we were hoping for in iOS 5 was better voice control, thanks to Apple's partnership with Nuance.

According to one developer, that may actually happen by the  time iOS 5 launches this fall.

References to Nuance have been found buried in iOS 5's code and the tech blogger Chronic Wire was able to snag a few screenshots and post them to his Twitter account.

Other screenshots show an option to add a "microphone" icon to your keyboard for dictating text, just like Android phones can do now.

As developers keep digging, expect several more iOS 5 Easter eggs to come.
