Dial2Do a free service to send emails, texts and reminders by just talking!

[boz]

I came across this great looking free application that enables you to send emails, texts or even post updates to your Twitter or Jaiku stream just by talking, at no cost at all except for the call at normal rates.

Looks very novel Uses a 'geographical' access number in UK as well, so will come out of a tariff allowance.

I could envisage times when this might be useful, if needing to send a 'group' SMS and it's inconvenient to type one.

I do wonder how it will finally be funded though? Beta is free, but as there is no income from the phone call I can't see how they will generate revenue unless theey harvest and sell contact data?
