Having third-party apps fill in the missing holes in iPhone’s functionality seems to be a genius idea, since Fonix has done the voice dialing legwork for Apple with their iSpeak app. The app consists of "a run-time engine that sits on the phone," which says always-running app to us, that can listen for names on your contact list and dial them. Also, you can look for songs in your music library by saying the name of the artist, song or playlist.

Iphone Application: iPhone Gets Voice Dialing With iSpeak

Many people will be going to the AT&T or Apple stores to get their iPhones only to be surprised that they will not get the 199 price, or they wont get the 3G.  If you have a current iPhone, and dont live in a 3G area, there is no reason to upgrade.  Go to the AT&T iPhone site and see if you qualify of the 199/299 prices, or if 3G is in your area.

I cant fight it any more.  I hate many things about Apple and the way they do business. The way the lock out developers and limit form factors to users, and stifle openness.  But, they made a damn good phone. I am now going to get on the iPhone band wagon, and make the iPhone part of the bigBrains universe.  I will start out with some of the obviose stuff and then get to the hacks and jail brakes.  I will start off with some of the Demos from Apple’s site.

Email on iPhone looks and works just like email on your computer. With support for popular email servers and providers — including MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Yahoo! Mail, Google Gmail, and AOL — and most industry-standard IMAP or POP mail systems, iPhone puts email in your pocket.
