Considering the iPhone SDK is just around the corner, it seems logical that the days of the jailbroken iPhone are numbered. Why hack your iPhone to run illegal apps when perfectly legal versions that do the same things will be available soon (actually, don’t answer that)?
Even so, Makayama is not only still churning out applications for the device at a rate of naughts, it is also charging for the things too. Still that is not to say that the applications, pricey though they are ($28 for this particular one), are not worthy.
The latest for example adds voice recognition functionality to the device, a feature that many thought would be a no-brainer but was nowhere to be seen at launch. Voice Dial 1.0 allows you to voice dial (duh) and use voice prompts to open applications or bookmarked sites in Safari. Clever stuff though likely to be available for free/cheaper and legally within the next few months. If you are just too impatient however, your solution has just landed.
