Vlingo launches voice-command iPhone app

Vlingo has launched a voice-based iPhone application that allows users to speak basic commands to call contacts, search the web, find maps, or send status updates to Facebook and Twitter. Yahoo and Google searches can be initiated simply by stating the command and search terms, such as "web search: concert tickets in Boston," for example. Users can mention a specific location, and Vlingo will provide a map that is populated with local listings.

Vlingo can be downloaded for free from the App Store.
