Imagine the many times that you’re busy pulling luggage through an airport or otherwise have only one hand available to do things. Using voice recognition, Promptu’s ShoutOUT for the iPhone lets you create and edit a text message instantly and send it to your contacts with only minimal keystrokes. At the Lunch at Piero’s innovator and media event during CES 2010, Matteo Monteverdi gave us a quick demo and we were very impressed with the accuracy of the voice recognition. Even if a message needs editing or you decide to expand it, there’s always the keyboard. Oh, and did we say the messages are free? Now isn’t that sweet for all of us busy multitasking people?

Oh and did we say this versatile all-in-one communications app is FREE?
Toktumi’s Line2 is an app for the iPhone that allows you to place calls over Wi-Fi when it is available and over cellular when it is not, overcoming the biggest problem with competing VoIP apps, which only work over Wi-Fi and must be running to receive a call. It also links into Toktumi’s hosted PBX platform, allowing small companies to set up an entirely iPhone-based office phone system. Demonstrated in the special iPhone section of Lunch at Piero’s, the media and innovator event during CES 2010.
