\"\"<\/a>I have not downloaded this, but by just watching the video I’m already sold.\u00a0 What is interesting and cool about this iphone alarm clock app is that it does more then just wake you up.\u00a0 Once you are awake, it has voice commands for follow up actions.\u00a0 Snoose, reset the alarm time, etc..\u00a0 Better, you can ask it for the time, play a radio station or ipod music or read your tweet and facebook messages. (although if you are checking that first thing in the morning, I think you have a social media addition going on. )\u00a0 Check the video at the end of the post.<\/p>\n

My interest is how well can I use it for voice commands.\u00a0 Already I have a pretty good solution using\u00a0VoiceActivator for voice commands<\/a>. If this works as I think it can, it could be a great solution for people driving and biking who, do not want to jailbreak their phones and second, do not have the iphone4s.\u00a0 We’ll see though.<\/p>\n
