Post 9:Talkbox Voice Messenger
The video above is an overview about the latest iPhone application, which is called the Talkbox Voice Messenger and it is so interesting that I highly recommend to all of you.
The TalkBox Voice Messenger is a new, free ISO application, which allow iPhone users to send “voice IMS” to friends. Basically, it’s like live messenger, but instead of using keyboard to type into words, users can now talk directly to their iPhone, and the voice will be sent to you friends right away.
Some interesting things that I really like about the app, first of all, the group conversation. Like MSN which you can add multiple friends to the same conversation, the Talkbox can also do that. The feeling between reading a message and listening to voice messenger is so different as people may misunderstand from the text but listening to actual voice won’t lead to misunderstand issue at all.
Besides, it offers the “location sharing” function. just press the small icon on the screen and your friend can know exactly where you are by looking at the google map.
Moreover, user can sync their Talkbox friend list with their facebook/Twitter friend list, and all the facebook/Twitter friend who has joined the Talkbox will be automatically available for chatting.
However, as the app has just been developed, there’s something it should work on to improve. For example, the limit time of each voice message is pretty short and somethings when users go back to listen to the previous records, the voice might be breezing and hard to understand.
Overall, the app is a creative design and it’s free right now. I believe that in the near future, it would be available on iPod as well. And also the fabulous design would attract more customers for Apple, who’s always been leaders for creativity. Really hope to see more interesting apps turning up.
