Comments on: Vlingo one-ups Google with a better voice-powered iPhone app

Search the Web on your iPhone with nothing more than your voice using Vlingo, a new app that also throws in voice-activated calling, maps search, and Twitter updates too.

I haven't downloaded or used the Google version yet, but you should have mentioned a synopsis of the license agreement for vlingo. This is quite an extensive set of rules the user is agreeing to and there is a mention of a subscription fee basis without any further explanation. I would simply recommend anyone who chooses to use the free app to read carefully the terms of service agreement which you must accept before gaining access to the app.

Not only that, but it clearly states on their website that they collect all your address book contact names and companies so it can perform the contact searches. There's no opt-out either, it says on their website if you're not comfortable with the data collection then you should simply not install the product.

There are more rough areas with Vlingo app that are ignored in this review. I have listed them at http://iphonedev.in . The app is right now collecting your voice samples to improve their technology and hopes to charge you in future!

I don't like that all my contact's info is given to them... and Google is cool but you still have to go through all the pages... I like using ChaCha... you can use your voice just by calling 1-800-2ChaCha... no iphone needed... and they send you an answer not just 100 different sites... I heard they just partner up with AT&T... I still think they should have an iPhone app soon!
