Vlingo is my favourite hands-free app for BlackBerry, bar none, and they’ve launched version 3.0 which now lets you send your transcribed messages without having to hit a key. There are some additional read-back functions but, sadly on the surface it looks like Vlingo is cutting features (sending transcribed e-mails and text messages to anyone) reserving them for their new $17.99 Vlingo Plus. Not to fret, though; you can still send those messages if your receiving contact also has the software, and the vast majority of Vlingo’s cool voice commands (tweeting, updating Facebook status, web searches, launching apps, etc.) are still intact in the free version. It’s been a nice free ride while it lasted, but if quick, hands-free transcribed e-mails are at all important to you, it’ll be worth the $17.99.
