Enjoyed your article, and I too love Phone Valet, not for the reasons you mentioned, though they are cool, but because of the very fundamentally useful things it does (listed below).


Phone Valet is the best gadget I've purchased since TiVo. Why I love it:


1. Voice dialing - It is so cool to use your voice and just say "Call Jolie". Phone Valet then displays an alert that says "Pick up the phone to auto-dial Jolie". I pick up the phone, the alert goes away, the number is dialed, and that's it.


2. Call announcement - when someone's calling in, it displays, in nice big letters on my screen, who's calling, and speaks the name too.


3. Integration with Address book - It's easy to set up Phone Valet because it imports from Address Book. I still wish I didn't have to maintain a seperate contacts database though. In an ideal world, contextual menus in Address Book would fully support Phone Valet's features.
