cell phone

Do you ever Text, email, blog, Twitter, or schedule on your cell phone? Do you wish you could?  How about while driving?

It’s rare that a new product really gets me excited. This one does. Dial2Do, a new FREE service for your cell phone, turns you and your phone into a hands-free productivty machine. You can use it while driving, walking, sky diving - anywhere or anytime when it’s not convenient to use your hands.

Best of all, it works with my existing email, blog, and calendar software. I don’t need to change ANYTHING. It works the way I do, and it all begins with a simple phone call.

 To use it, I dial a local number. Dial2Do recognizes me (from my cell number) and asks me what I want to do. I say “Send Text”, “To Nick”, “Don’t forget to bring cold beer”. Done. He gets the text. I can even get a confirmation if I want. This coudl also have been done via email.

Yesterday I was on my way back from the gym when a Twitter thought crossed my mind. I said “Twitter”, Diak2Do asked for my post. I said “I’m writing a white paper on the California Hands Free driving law and looking for case studies.” - BAM. It was posted on Twitter (after it read it back to me to approve).

While on the call, I said “Reminder”, “Finish monthly recap and email before noon”. When I got back to my office, this reminder was on my calendar. How cool is that?

Oh, this product / company just took top honors at the Silicon Valley Entrepreneurs awards (2008), so I expect it may be a company to watch out for.

Want to try it?  Warning: It can be addictive. Go to www.dial2do.com for a activation code. If you sign up now, you get it for free. The product is in late stage beta but work great.  Enjoy.
