New iPhone Feature Can Save a Life
September 25th, 2009 MobileFreak
How many times have you had to fumble around trying to dial a number on your mobile phone while driving? I’ve done it more often than I’d like to admit, though I am happy to say that I have completely stopped. If you own the iPhone 3GS, you can kick that habit too, and maybe even save a life in the process.
The new iPhone feature is called Voice Control. You can use Voice Control to dial a contact by name or by phone number, play a song on the built-in iPod, find out the song currently playing, or even create a genius playlist based on the current song playing.
To use Voice Control, simply press and hold the home button. At the tone, speak a command such as “Call Will Ferrell”, or “Call 408.555.1212″. To play a song, simply say, “Play Darius Rucker”. You get the idea.
So stop using your fingers to dial while driving and start using Voice Control on the iPhone 3GS. Who knows — the life you save may be your own.

This is a great step forward, a friend of mine was killed by someone who was too busy dialing to watch where they were going.
I hope it catches on!
