I have not downloaded this, but by just watching the video I’m already sold.  What is interesting and cool about this iphone alarm clock app is that it does more then just wake you up.  Once you are awake, it has voice commands for follow up actions.  Snoose, reset the alarm time, etc..  Better, you can ask it for the time, play a radio station or ipod music or read your tweet and facebook messages. (although if you are checking that first thing in the morning, I think you have a social media addition going on. )  Check the video at the end of the post.

My interest is how well can I use it for voice commands.  Already I have a pretty good solution using VoiceActivator for voice commands. If this works as I think it can, it could be a great solution for people driving and biking who, do not want to jailbreak their phones and second, do not have the iphone4s.  We’ll see though.
