Voice Command for iPhone

Missing iPhone feature added by 3rd party application
http://www.phonemag.com/voice-dial-f...-1-0-01316.php

It allows you to record voice samples for any and all contacts in your
address books then recall them simply speaking the name. Other cool
features include tagging actions like starting email application or
launching web pages via Safari bookmarks, and as well as some Google
Mapping with your voice.

What is the procedure for installing SOFTWARE THAT RUNS on an iPhone? Does
itunes install software on it, now?

Not a slam. I'm interested because I know someone who asked me and I hate
not knowing.

There is none. It doesn't support software being installed on it. And
they've gone to great lengths to cripple efforts otherwise.

If it is jailbroken there is an installer icon on your screen. Click
on that and it lists the apps you can install, update or uninstall.
The data comes over edge or wi-fi, no need to be tethered to iTunes to
choose and install FREE apps.

There is a keyboard to be at retail in March for the iPhone. I had a
picture of it a few minutes ago but I must have closed that page out.
It was on display at MacWorld 2008.


Quote one source
"Editor's Note: Macworld Expo 2008 is in the books, but Macworld
editors still have a few reports from the Macworld Expo show floor on
meetings with Mac developers, new product announcements, and anything
else that catches their eye.

Many products you see at Macworld Expo look so much like other ones
you've seen before, it's tempting to pass them by. But doing so means
you sometimes miss out on some very interesting stuff.

For example, MacAlly's $100 BTKeyMini: As you might deduce from its
name--or perhaps not--the BTKeyMini is a small, Bluetooth keyboard,
designed to fold up and carry in your bag. Not terribly interesting,
as I've seen many such keyboards in the past.

But if MacAlly's representatives have been correctly informed, this
keyboard is something special. According to the representative I spoke
with, when the BTKeyMini arrives this March, it will work with the
iPhone, meaning you'll be able to use it to type in any iPhone
application that would normally use an onscreen keyboard. Given that
many, many people have tried to pair various Bluetooth keyboards with
the iPhone, I was surprised by this claim, so I asked again to
confirm. And then I asked a third time. MacAlly assured me I was
understanding correctly."

Another added some additional information

"Re: Expo Notes: A Bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone?
Another vendor at Expo said that Apple was trying to figure out some
sort of licensing model for the iPhone before rolling out Bluetooth
keyboard support -- in other words, a way for Apple to make money on
Bluetooth keyboards for the iPhone.

Interesting to see if the MacAlly person was misinformed or spilling
beans."

Here is the link to the photo
http://www.iclarified.com/images/news/591/2613/2613.jpg

The keyboard is not physically connected to the speakers and iPhone
which are above it.

It is hard to determine that if you do not know that the speakers are
an existing product that the iPhone plugs into to recharge and pass
audio. The iPhone also mounts horizonally in those speakers for
viewing movies.

Hell, for this much money it should have had built in Bozos.

I use a little FM transmitter plugged into the STANDARD mini phone plug
on the Nokia N800 to make it broadcast to my FM in the car. I can stream
internet radio and hear Navicore's driving instructions, simultaneously.

I wish it had the little FM transmitter in it instead of its internal FM
stereo receiver that's useless in America, these days.

It's as connected through its SELLphone modem as your WebTV iPhoney
wannabe. Mine's on Alltel EVDO by choice, not by force. I don't have to
hack into it to get it to RUN SOFTWARE, either. Noone gets punished when I
access it as root...er, ah, unless I screw up, then ME! The loader just
re-installs over my mistakes in a minute or two, then my punishment is
reinstalling ALL the software I'd previously installed from maemo.org or
the other repositories full of freeware I can INSTALL and RUN on it,
without some Apple or ATT bureaucrat's permission, of course:
http://www.gronmayer.com/it/index.ph...&system=maemo3

There must have been SOME reason it was the number one seller on Amazon.com
last Christmas...(c; I still think that must have been an error, but they
tell me it's true.

Don't YOU get one or even touch one, though. I don't wanna spoil your
iPhone fantasy trip into WebTVland.

I was hoping that Jobs would announce voice dialing for the iPhone at
Mac World.

The rumor is that they have voice-dialing almost ready, and due to the
upcoming California law banning handheld phones while driving it's
expected well before July 1, 2008 (when the law takes effect).

How it will work is that you're going to have to upload your iPhone
address book to iTunes, then for 99¢ per contact you can create and
download voice-tags at the iTunes store (it will include up to three
numbers per contact it's not 99¢ per number per contact). They'll also
have some sort of volume pricing, where if you want to buy voice-tags
for your entire address book the price per voice-tag is less, i.e. 100
or more voice-tags will be 10% off.

If you want to use "digit dial" where you say the digits of a phone
number, you can create and download voice tags for each digit you need
for 50¢ per digit (or pay a discounted price of $4.99 for all ten digits).

Those prices are way to high. But I'm sure once no-one pony's up they will
be lowered. For something a lot of phone mfg have built in already.

God this thing gets funnier every day! They don't put a common premium
SELLphone feature into a $500 phone so they can SELL IT TO YOU BY THE
NUMBER?!

Come on, people! How stupid ARE you?!

Question - What does Apple/ATT need to see your contact list for? What are
they going to do when the sheeple give them his data? Who will THEY SELL
IT TO?!

Duhh.....stupid sheep...follow the herd.

It's a joke son. I just remember the thunderous applause when Jobs
announced that for only 99¢, you could use an iTunes song (that you
already paid for) as a ring tone on the iPhone. Surely those that
applauded would be perfectly happy to pay 99¢ per voice tag as well.

Undoubtably so. This message is from Waffle House on my N800 tablet and
Nokia folding BT keyboard via Bluetooth to MotooROKR Z6m on Alltel EVDO

Try that on an iPhoneee...

Oops, waffle arrives by cute little blonde! C'ya.

That all depends on how well they bite the tip off of their unfiltered
cigarettes (which in turn requires at least two opposing teeth).

But the visual of redneck Larry stooped over the counter whilst playing with
his grease-covered toy was priceless.

I miss a lot with Larry in my kill-file!

What a shame that Waffle House isn't out west. I ate in one in Florida
last October, and that was enough to last me the rest of my life.
