Micorsoft launches TellMe for Blackberry with Voice recognition
This post was published 1 year 6 months 16 days ago which may make its actuality or expire date not be valid anymore. This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.Tell Me, a service that has been known for its simple 800-555-TELL phone number, is now available to download as stand-alone application for Blackberry devices with GPS capability. The software allows you to search for directions, movies, traffic information, and business by saying the name of the item on your device.
While the complexity of the phone is increasing, new interfaces such as touch are making access to information and services much easier. However even touch remains a challenging interface to use when walking, driving or multitasking at home or work.
TellMe is expected to rival with Yahoo’s one search and Google’s Maps
application which supports both physical GPS signals or by using GSM triangulation “Virtual GPS”. We could not test it on our Blackberry Curve, because the application is not supported by 8300 device. Supported devices are8800, 8820, 8830, and 8310.
Tell Me was acquired by Microsoft in 2007 for $800 Million.
