Voice recorder for the iPhone Braincast

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

One feature that is obviously lacking on the iPhone is that of a voice recorder. Now there is an online service called BrainCast. With BrainCast you can call a phone number and leave a recording and BrainCast is free. The message you record can be up to three minutes.

Create a free account and then add your phone number and email address. Adding your email address means that it will email you the message as a .wav file. In the upper right you can also see the account number and the number you will call.
You can retrieve the message from a regular computer. You can also add a note, categorize it, send as an email, or set a reminder.
The site is not optimized for the iPhone but it is possible to retrieve the message from the phone.
Login and then click he sound icon or if you sent it to your email on the iPhone you can click the .wav file.
It actually works better as a wav file.

YouMail Free Replacement Voice Mail

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

http://www.youmail.com

Have you ever wanted to have specific voice mail messages for different people?
With You mail you can. YouMail is a free, ad supported voice mail replacement service available in the U.S.

Just add the phone number that will be calling and choose one of their existing messages or record your own.

You can record it on the web or over the phone if you do not have a microphone for your computer.

They also have an extensive collection of existing messages including everything from sports related messages to comedy and music.


This video is from their website and is a good comparison of YouMail and regular voice mail.

YouMail greetings

On the other extreme have, you ever received harassing phone calls. YouMail has an option to set certain numbers to get a “ditch” message that says your number has been disconnected.

This is even better than blocking their number.

When you receive a voice mail You mail notifies you. I have mine set so that when I receive a message it sends a text message and an email to my iPhone. The email contains the text from the message and a button to click and play the message.

I don’t know why you would need it but they also have a feature where you can share your voicemail messages via email or by copying code into your blog or website.

I wish I knew about this with my last cell phone I had terrible problems with delayed messages. This lets you bypass any problems your phone company is having with it’s voice mail while also giving you more options.

Welcome to AOL TV listings for the iPhone

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

Welcome to AOL TV listings is what greets you when you surf to AOL’s TV listings site for the iPhone.

You can find it at http://iphone.television.aol.com. Just type in your zip code and click go.

You then get a detailed list of television services in your area.

After clicking save you get the following menu.

Choosing channel guide will give you the total list of channels available. You then have the oportunity to uncheck the ones you do not want to see listed.

Now go back and click what’s on now you will see a list of channels, the shows that are on, and the time.

If you click the magnifying glass or choose complete listings you get the ability to sort by date and category.

When you click one of the shows you get a short synopsis and a list of whenever it runs again.

In the example below you see the Illusionist comes on at 5:50 AM on channel 154 and then 8:50 AM on channel 155.
Of the three I have review this one is the best for casual browsing. I also like the fact that it tells you when the show comes on again. Unfortunately there is no search function but other than that it is the closest to a traditional TV guide.
After all most people use a guide because they don’t know what they want to watch not because they are searching for a specific show.

Summize, search twitter from your iPhone

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

I hear my friends talking about searching twitter to find people with similar interests. They are usually using a twitter client called twhirl.

I however don’t use that application because I use twitter almost exclusively on my iPhone instead of my PC.

Now I can also search because I found a site called summize. http://twitter.summize.com

Now I see why searching twitter is so fun. Here I searched for WKU and found multiple tweets about my old college.

I would recommend summize to all iPhone users. The twitter version also works from a regular browser on a computer.

They also have regular and iPhone versions of another flavor of summize. They search opinions from multiple sources where as the one listed above is only for twitter. See the quote below describing their site.

“We scour the web for the latest user reviews and blogger discussions, surmise their sentiments, and summarize them here.”
