What about developing an iPhone application that actually rocks?

Do you want to develop an iPhone application for your own company or for a client of yours? Great! The iPhone is indeed one of the best smartphones available in the world. Along with iPod Touches, there are millions of user all over the world!

However, there are over 150,000 applications available on the App Store. You should definitely find some ways to attract potential users. And there are many to choose from: very low prices, online ads, various contests, Twitter promotions, YouTube movies,... But are they successful?

Maybe you should instead...
do something your competitors don't...
release an original and distinctive application...
opt for a still unused technology, rather than applying discounted prices...

That's what speech recognition has for you. And this technology is...

• currently unavailable from Apple APIs
• easy to add to your application
• convenient for all types of apps: games, fun and promo applications or utilities
• suitable for the iPhone and the iPod Touch
• cheaper than you might expect.
