iPhone 3.0

The new iPhone has a lot of cool features, some of which even work on my approaching-ancient original non-3G, really non-3GS version. Seriously... who would have thought that a copy and paste functionality would be so cutting edge?

But alas, it is. So we have cut and paste. And search. And landscape keyboard in mail. But I'd like to focus on the new little app that popped up on my home screen: voice memos.

Voice memos are essentially a way to record audio on the iPhone. The app is super easy to use, and it's also incredibly easy to share the audio file via email. Apparently text messaging the voice memo is on its way, allowing you to send someone a voicemail via SMS.

I just KNOW that voice memos have a million cool, useful, and/or hilarious things you can do with them...but I'm kind of at a loss for what exactly those are. So far I have the following list:

  1. Record a baby talking his/her first words and email to long-distance aunt
  2. Record a grocery list so you don't have to type a memo with fat fingers
  3. Record a funny message for a friend that they can listen to on their iPod
  4. Record an idea for a new song you want to write while riding on the subway

But I am neither an aunt nor a cook nor a comedienne nor a songwriter, so these are kinda lame ideas. What else can I do with the voice memo iPhone feature?!
