"Here's a useful concept: say you're really sick of dealing with your phone's tiny keypad to type in text messages."
"This is pretty sweet, Yap lets you send text messages just by talking into your phone."
"But Yap has gotten a lot of buzz, at least partly because its voice recognition software seems so accomplished, even over a cellphone line."
"This could be a godsend for people who would like to text in their car and actually attempt it, much to the horror of other drivers."
"On the bright side, an upcoming mobile application may help teens keep their eyes on the road while they yap on the phone."
