iPhone users have enjoyed Hootsuite for a while, but the team of developers at Hootsuite have been nice enough to bring it to Android.

Hootsuite integrates, social networking and communications in to one place, making it easier to manage your accounts. And in my opinion has done a great job by recently adding Facebook and linkedin.

Being able to review all your incoming communications in to one spot makes things easier and more entertaining.

I’m a big proponent of using voice commands and voice recognition with PC and electronic devices [ask anyone]. The release of Dragon NaturallySpeaking for the iPhone was a premier event. iPhone didn’t have voice recognition before; while Android did- although very poor.

As an user of DROID, I was looking for alternatives and best choice for voice recognition on the DROID; basically all of them go through the Google voice recognition engine, but it’s about the GUI they put with it..

I found TALKTOME Keyboard…

So how many iPhone users are out there were sweating the launch of DROID?

Well you should be… your fancy iPhone is on it’s way out the door. [I hear the boo’s and hissing now] AND it’s not so much Apple’s fault…

The iPhone is an excellent piece of hardware and it’s presentation and abilities set the new standard for ‘personal access devices’ or Smartphone’s, but…

ANDROID has voice recognition from Google built right in to the Operating System for DROID, but the recognition of Dragon NaturallySpeaking is far greater than Google at this point.

So one of the very first questions that hit my mind was after the iPhone was provided Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and I understood how it works…

How long is it going to before DROID is going to get Dragon NaturallySpeaking?

I recently purchased a Motorola DROID ‘phone’ and I’ve been trying to get some updates from Nuance for some time now, on its initial offering of Dragon NaturallySpeaking, for the iPhone; not much yet.

Maybe the fact I don’t have an iPhone is a hindrance. I asked to be included with the beta testing team, but never got the invite.

But is all this voice recognition a lost effort on the iPhone?

It was back in June that I posted Nuance was releasing Dragon NaturallySpeaking for the iPhone and request after request has been asked for the progress- well I finally have some.

This is a short video with someone who has never used voice recognition and had just installed the Dragon NaturallySpeaking application on the iPhone.

You’ve to watch this video I made of a complete nooby-person using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for the iPhone.

There’s this jockeying contest right now for who can be the best Smartphone out there and I don’t really care; I don’t. They’re advertising these Smartphones like they’re the best thing since sliced bread, but it’s not swaying me to change or do any thing special right now.

It’s not the feature set of the phone, what it can do or so much the coverage it can offer- as a customer, it’s the transference of the data/information.

And from that your asking, what am I talking about?

I’ve long said that mobile phones are not phones at all; they’re small PC’s and the function of making a phone call is only a side affect of what they can really do.

The push for phones to do all kinds of things besides voice conversations is cause for raised curiosity.

The level of necessity of the mobile phone can soon be social requirement. This is a video that’s an example of what a ‘smart’ phone can do now…
