Voice Command/Dial needs to go through Bluetooth with voice prompt/confirmation and this app would be perfect. It does work better than anything out there at the moment but it would be nice to use BT to dial while the phone is holstered or in a noisy environment.

Vlingo is my main app of the day. I love the heck out of it.

My favorite part is the new "InCar" screen which is somewhat of a replacement for the normal Google CarHome but with voice control. When it is running you can say "Hey Vlingo" at any time and it responds asking you what you want. I use this every day but not only in the car! The other day I was having SMS conversations for an hour and didnt pick up my phone once! Someone texts me, their message is read aloud, then I say "Hey Vlingo... Text Bob... That is so cool man!".

It has a few small issues to be worked out in my opinion, but for s free app that does all that is does, it's amazing. My iPhone friend downloaded this app and he can't send messages without paying, and my BlackBerry buddy can only do a few things on the free version and has to pay 20 bucks to get a fully functioning version. Ours is free and has more options... GO ANDROID!

Got an update for Vlingo this morning when I woke up. It should be mandatory for apps to tell you WHY it was updated... time to search around.

You can always de-select "allow automatic updates" then you will need to OK the update. If an app does not tell you why it is updating you can go to the developers web site and view the change log.

I just got this app last nght and I think its a good one. Still learning how to use it, but so far so good. I set it up to say "what he hell do you want". My kids got a kick out of it.

I love this app and I use it every time I drive. The only issue I have is that when the safe reader reads my texts or emails it does not stop the media (music, podcast) like google nav does. I hope future updates fixes that problem.

I too really like this program. Im a bit worried about the beta stage though. On every other non android phone they charge $19.95. I fear in the not too distant future they will be asking for my 20 bux as well. As much as I like this app I dont think they should be charging 20 bux for it.
