			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dragon Dictation may be one of the most useful free apps we&#8217;ve seen for the iPhone. You speak, it transcribes your text <a href="http://n-t.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/dragon.png"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-324" title="Dragon iPhone" src="http://n-t.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/dragon-300x288.png" alt="" width="300" height="288" /></a>and then you decide what to do with the text. From the apps, you can email or text your dictation directly. You can also send the text to the clipboard for other applications. If your dictation is off a bit, you can edit the text right from the app &#8212; it even offers suggestions for words that it wasn&#8217;t sure of.</p>
<p>It can even format for you. You just voice your punctuation marks, like &#8220;comma&#8221; or &#8220;period&#8221;, and it sticks them in. If you say, &#8220;new paragraph&#8221;, it formats it for you. It&#8217;s pretty impressive and it&#8217;s accuracy is reminiscent of their PC application.</p>
<p>So, why would you want this? Three obvious scenarios:</p>
<ul>
<li>You&#8217;re a bad iPhone typist.</li>
<li> You&#8217;re in motion and typing isn&#8217;t an option.</li>
<li> You&#8217;ve got a lot of text to write and little time.</li>
</ul>
<p>After a week of testing, we&#8217;ve started using Dragon for more than 50% of our composition. It&#8217;s fast, surprisingly accurate and simple to work with. Occasionally, it would lose its server connection and our dictation would be lost. That&#8217;s the apps one flaw: you can&#8217;t dictate offline &#8212; it needs that server link to do the translation.</p>
<p>We cannot recommend this app enough. <a title="Dragon Dictation Official Site" href="http://www.dragonmobileapps.com/apple/dictation_overview.html" target="_blank">Try it for yourself</a>. As the cliche goes, &#8220;you can&#8217;t beat free.&#8221;</p>

InformationWeek is reporting that starting next week, a little extra cash up front will keep you more in control of your long-term commitment to AT&amp;T. Given their <a title="AT&amp;T Woes" href="http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/SavingandDebt/P90677.asp" target="_blank">terrible customer service</a> and spotty 3G service, that might be a good thing.</p>
<p>Problem is, you need to have an AT&amp;T account to actually get one. You cannot just walk into a store and purchase one. <a title="CNET" href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10200602-37.html?tag=TOCmoreStories.0" target="_blank">You&#8217;ll still need to pay the deposit and the first month&#8217;s service</a> before you can <a title="CNET Jailbreak 3.0 Article" href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10199822-37.html?tag=TOCmoreStories.0" target="_blank">jailbreak it</a> and head over to someone like T-Mobile.</p>
<p>This means that users looking for a true prepaid iPhone aren&#8217;t there yet.</p>
