I am not able to use this program as it says it is not supported in New Zealand. I would be happy to pay for it too.

“The main question I leave you with is this: Is voice dialing really necessary on the iPhone?” The main answer is this: unless you are an idiot, irresponsible or just mildly addled, voice-command, hands-free dialing is not merely desirable, it is indispensable if you use your phone while driving. Besides the increasing number of states that make playing with a cell phone while driving a violation (e.g., New York, California), it simply defies common sense to do so, in any event. Morons who take their eyes off the road, steer with one hand, and fiddle with a phone at the same time should have ear-buds stapled to their heads with their hands Crazy-Glued to a steering wheel, while being forced to listen to reruns of “American Idol” on a never-ending loop while stuck in traffic on the Santa Monica Freeway or the Cross Bronx Expressway at rush hour for, let’s say, a week. (No, wait – - the biggest offenders are probably people for whom that “penalty” would be nearly Heaven! Arrrgh . . .)

I like the idea of using this as a faster way to search through my contacts, especially for those with huge contact lists.

This actually sounds really cool — I’m getting to the point where I have so many contacts (since I synced my phonebook and email contacts) that it simply takes too long to try and scroll to the contact I usually want. Hoping this helps, will try it tonight!
