The iPhone only makes sense for its computer-like functionality utilizing the apps that work for you. For me, it is really all about communication. That includes email via gmail, IM via trillian, basecamp, Remember The Milk and SMS.

I’ve grown used to the keyboard and can really move at a decent clip while I type. But voice is faster. And safer when I’m in the car. So I was looking for a good service and I tried out a few. This one wins in my book. Dragon Dictation allows you to click, talk and then wait a little to see it in text. While I’m sure that was the technically hard part – its the next part that shows the ingenious flexibility. You can then Send to Email, Send to Text Msg or Send to Clipboard.

The last one allows me to paste the text into any application. Now that is flexibility and worth sharing with you .
