Birdstep SmartVoice looks interesting, but I am struggling to understand why you would need it.

I had tried the mobile YouTube (http://m.youtube.com) semi-secret URL earlier in the week, but did not have any luck – running into a blocked client page. Last night, however I learned via Stefan, that a slight change to the URL (http://m.youtube.com/?client=ytdemo)gets you right in.

I’ll be in Dallas this Sunday through Wednesday for the MuniWireless conference and speaking on a panel Tuesday on Emerging Portable Devices which should be quite cool. Any readers going to be there? Perhaps a meetup… Technorati Tags: MuniWireless, Dallas, TX
