If the person you are sending the message to also has Voice4Mail running on their iPhone they will receive the message in their Voice4Mail mail box and be able to play it right out of this application. If you are using Wi-Fi here is a great way to not use your minutes and to still get the spoken word out there.

There are clients for:
On the desktop you can create notes the contain both text and audio, find printed and handwritten text within images, Clip web content into notes, capture screen shots and synchronize your notes among all of your desktops and mobile devices. The last feature is what really caught my eye. When I saw that I had an iPhone client I finally found the connection that I was looking for to easily share information between my devices. Information anywhere is a big thing for me and this just one more spoke in the wheel to give it to me.
In the free version you have some file limitations that over the next few months I’ll see if it gives me any problems. They have two versions, free and premium. I have captured a screen shot below showing the differences between the two versions. The paid version costs $45/year or $5/ month if you are not sure that you want to commit to it.
How does this translate into real numbers we can associate with. Evernote has again done the math for us and here is a chart showing what these limitations might be with real types of data.
If you are using this to share textual information between devices the free version should be more than adequate. However, if you are capturing a lot of websites, pictures or audio notes than you may want to consider the Premium plan. In my case, I just want to be able to share data between my desktops and mobile easily and this seems like a great method to do so. I am still using OneNote to share the greater portion of info between my desktops, but I needed this one piece to tie in my iPhone and now I think that I have it. We’ll see.
To give you an idea of the text formatting capability on the web interface I have captured a screen shot below for you to look at. It has standard formatting functions including Bold, Italics, Underlining, Super and Subscripting, Left-Center-Right justifying, Strikeout, indent, Line Insertion, Line Numbering and Bullets, creating a hyperlink and clearing a hyperlink assignment, removing formatting and TODO Checkboxes. You can color your text, change fonts and size (these are limited but you have a small amount of flexibility).
When you are creating a note you have the ability to enter tags for the note to later group on, and to assign the note to a folder that you create that is called a notebook. Once you have assigned tags to your notes then you can list your grouped notes quickly by opening the tags group and showing all of the tags that you have entered. Click on the tag group you are interested in and just the tagged subgroup notes will be displayed. You are given several management tools for your tags as well such as creating new tags, renaming a tag, deleting a tag and removing the tag from all your notes that contain the tag.
You have several methods for getting notes into Evernote. You can clip information from a website, enter info from your desktop application, enter info from a web browser, email to a specified email address, or from your Mobile device. You can then sort your notes on the source of the notes, by the type of information the note contains (images, audio, PDF, Ink, Encrypted text, Attachments, To Do lists, unfinished To Do Lists and Finished To Do lists), when the notes were created and when they were last modified. All in all a wide variety of choices to get at your data and quickly focus on what you are looking for. I didn’t mean to leave out the fact that you can also type in a key word that will search all of your notes and quickly display those notes that contain the search word or characters that you entered.
Lastly, if you wish to create a notebook that you want to share data with others you have that capability as well. Drawbacks, not sure on the onset here that I see too many yet but I’ll get back to you on that.

I wasn’t sure what I was going to get into with this application but I find it really interesting and can be used as a news aggregator for any sites that you want to follow that have an RSS feed. Ziibii describes itself as a way to:
Enjoy a fresh new way of staying in-touch and in-the-loop
with your friends, photos, and the world around you with Ziibii.Ziibii blends Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and YouTube
- plus your favorite web content - to deliver an iPhone
experience unlike any other. Ziibii is easy-to-use,
fun to explore, and offers plenty of great features.
Ziibii also works hand-in-hand with Twitter and email.
The first few minutes of using it I was completely enthralled watching the information flowing through the screen. You can associate your Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube and any Web Feeds that you wish to program in. As the summaries are flowing by on the screen just tap on the image of the message and it will display it for you in all of its glory. Once setup I can see you wasting hours upon hours staring at the information passing by. It certainly held my attention.
