So I had this super duper, uber-fantastic CTIA blog post that I was just about to hit ‘Publish’ on…

…when all of a sudden this video lands on my desk.

Brilliant.

SpinVox @ CTIA - c/o our friends at Heist Projects - Cheers!

Tony Carter, it’s over to you…

Sings:

“VIVA LAS VEGAS! VIVA LAS VEGAS!”

And I’m pretty certain that won’t be for the last time either… Hehehe.

Just a quick note to mention that SpinVox is off to the 2008 CTIA Wireless Conference this week.
The show itself runs from April 1-3 and will be hosted at the Las Vegas Convention Center which is in… er… Las Vegas!

You can find us at Booth 6603 - So if you want to come say ‘Hi’ then that’s where we’ll be.

I’m flying out tomorrow to (amongst other things) assist with the building of the stand (again).
You may remember that we caused quite a stir at the recent Mobile World Congress in Barcelona with all our many Mobsters… 2000 to be exact!

Well, we’ve shipped the whole stand to Las Vegas; SpinVox is coming to town and we’re bringing our army of Mobsters with us!

I don’t have any exclusive pictures/videos yet, (like before), but I HAVE managed to lay my hands on the final TOP SECRET design/blueprint…

Shh… Not sure I’m supposed to have this ^ but to hell with it!
It’s not like anyone’s gonna copy us is it?!

And finally…

You may or may not be aware that yours truly was interviewed for the extremely well-respected Today Programme on BBC Radio 4 regarding blogging for SpinVox…

If you missed it then you can read all about it via the two links below…

First Rory Cellan-Jones, Chief Technology Correspondent for the BBC, writes up his thoughts on “The Business of Blogging“

And second - Neil Bird, founder of technology blog ‘iGadget Life‘, gets an honourable mention for being the first blogger to report the story (and for also doing the hard work and hosting the exact clip from the show - you can listen to it here)

…Nice one Neil!

Way back when SpinVox was in Barcelona. I met a lovely chap called Jeremiah.
Goes by the name of ‘Pseudofinn’ online, (Google him - you’ll see).

Anyway, we had a chat about all things mobile-related and eventually we got onto the subject of SpinVox.

“Voice to text?! Eh?“

Well ‘Pseudofinn’ finally went and signed up a couple of weeks ago and now?

It seems he is “Simply Smitten with SpinVox“. Not only that but he also think it’s “ultra-cool“ too!

You can read why he feels this way over on his website - www.nokiausers.net

And if you like what he’s done there - you should definitely check out the Flickr Group he set up called:

“Speech Mobsters on the March Around the Globe!“

If you’ve got a SpinVox Speech Mobster, why not take a photo and add it to the group - (we have)
Some of the entries can be seen on the left column of this blog - under Mobster Pics - or you can click through and see the whole lot yourself.

I’ll be back later with some more link love…

Happy Friday Folks… It’s Chinposin time!

Not sure what the hell I’m on about? Read the Chinposin blog!

It’s a Friday thing in the name of avatar rejuvenation…

You MAY have noticed that aside from actually working for SpinVox and blogging for SpinVox and generally just being employed by SpinVox I am actually also a FAN of SpinVox!
Why?

Well - aside from it being just a BIT cool - it is also quite refreshing to have one of those services that just WORKS.

I know it’s a bit of an obvious one and all that but a lot people tend to ignore this one feature a lot of the time..

Anywhoo - the other day I was challenged to demonstrate the amazing power of SpinVox LIVE…

So I did.

And, thanks to our friends at Qik - here’s the results:

And if you can’t see the screen at the end - here’s a screenshot for you that makes it a bit clearer…

I thenkyou!
