New iPhone App Makes Messaging Easier

A new iPhone app published yesterday by Nuance for the "Dragon Naturally Speaking" product is said to make texting and emailing quite simple.

The best part is that it is free - for now. There will be a cost after everyone gets hooked on the product and enjoys using it.

Simply download the app from your iTunes Store account ("Dragon Dictation") and you're ready to go. You can record your message of any length, it will upload to Nuance and return in approximately 5 seconds. Then you can edit it, store it, text it, email it, or copy it into a letter.

Apple Is Working Hard to Convert Me

I am a Blackberry phone user - not for all of the texting and web access because I don't find that real convenient. I just happen to like the size and audio quality of the Blackberry. I am now on my 4th model upgrade. I have the Curve.

That said, Apple is quietly pursuing me. Everyone around me seems to have an iPhone.

It seems like there isn't a week that goes by that Apple or AT&T isn't announcing a new application for their iPhone.

The one I read about this morning got my attention.

Zillow just announced that they have created an application for the iPhone that lets us look at the value of any home that we see as we are walking by, driving by, or standing their with customers - based on the most recent sales price. We can even do an entire block. It can also display where we are on a map and show recent sales.

This could cause me to rethink the iPhone.
