Jott to your Google Calendar

by Chris Gilmer Dec 5th 2007

Jott to your Google Calendar
Jott is a voice based online tool that we covered earlier this year. The basic premise is that you call a specified phone number, speak a message, and have it's transcribed and sent as text to your account on a service like Twitter, a Wordpress blog, a Tumblr blog, or even to Yahoo Groups.

Now Jott officially supports Google Calendar. Users will now have the ability to speak into the system, specify a Google Calendar, and have Jott drop in an appointment. Great for on the go and have to set something up ASAP so you don't forget!

Jott is currently in public beta.

Who Needs an iPhone?

Not long after Apple started showing off the iPhone in images and demos, the hacker community got to work making Windows Mobile devices mimic the mobile phone's innovative interface. But the truth is, Windows Mobile PDAs and phones will never actually be iPhones.

That's a good thing and a bad thing. Multi-touch screens would be nice. But removable storage, the ability to work with multiple carriers, and the fact that you may already have one in your pocket all work to Windows Mobile's advantage.

And so that's why it's exciting to check out the project at WhoNeedsAnIphone.com. One developer started off tinkering with Flash to see if he could make an iPhone-like interface for his PPC6700. But he quickly realized that he could use the iPhone interface as a starting point and go in different directions. For example, 16 icons on the program launcher doesn't take you very far when you can install hundreds of programs. So the bottom four buttons will turn from program launch buttons into page flipping buttons, giving you a total of 48 buttons to press for applications.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
