Dial2Do, the company/service which we already talked about in the past, launched its voice activated mobile app/service for the Android platform. Here’s how it works, and it’s not just how it works with Android smartphones (from the press release):
The application intercepts incoming text messages so the driver does not even have to look at the device. Once the message is read aloud by the system, the driver can reply to that message also by voice. The outgoing message is converted into text by Dial2Do and sent in text form to the recipient. The application can be used with any Android phone and, when synced with a Bluetooth device, drivers can listen to incoming messages through their headset as they would if they were having a phone conversation.
In addition to the free app that does SMS, there’s also a paid app/service simply called Dial2Do Pro. The difference is that the paid version also allows users/drivers to send and listen to emails, send memos and reminders as well as post to popular social networking sites like Twitter. This benefit, in case you sign-up for the service, will cost you $39.99 per year or $3.99 per month.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
