At the end of February Dolphin updated its Android web browser with voice-control capabilities – aka Dolphin Sonar. Now the iPhone version is getting the same treatment thanks to the partnership with Nuance Communications. Unfortunately, it’s not free to use (like on Android) and is rather sold as in-app purchase for 99 cents. That’s still pretty cheap and if you hate typing on a virtual keyboard – grab the useful add-on right now.
You know how it goes right? Instead of typing URLs and search queries, simply tap the microphone button, say what’s on your mind (or exact web address) and see the magic taking place on your iPhone screen: Dolphin Sonar will turn your text into words and guide you to the page you wanted to visit.
It’s important to add that this is an iPhone thing only with the iPad version most likely getting the same update in the near future…

Dusan Belic
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.
