Vlingo 2 adds more voice power to iPhone (TUAW.com)

Mar 4th 2010 1:37PM What are the steps required to use the SMS feature with this app? I'm interested in knowing if it's an improvement over Dragon Dictate where you're required to do the following:
1) Open the app.
2) Press the record button.
3) Say the message. (App detects the ending automatically)
4) Confirm the accuracy of the message.
5) Press the "Send to" button.
6) Press the "Text Message" button.
7) Choose the contact to send to (assuming it's high enough in the list of recent contacts).
8) Click the text field.
9) Click the text field again.
10) Click "Paste".
11) Click "Send".

Honestly, this lengthy process isn't much of an improvement if I'm trying to respond to a message while in the car. I'm curious if Vlingo has figured out a better way to handle this, but I don't want to pay for something that doesn't do it any better than Dragon Dictate does. This is my understanding so far:
1) Open the app. (Recording starts automatically)
2) Say "Text [person] [message]".
3) Press the "Stop" button.
4) Confirm the message.
5) ???

Can anyone help me understand what the rest of the process is?

Rohos Mini Drive creates protected partitions on USB flash drives (Download Squad)

Dec 12th 2008 2:53PM Truecrypt requires either that the user has administrator privileges if it is run from a USB drive or that Truecrypt has already been installed on the computer by an administrator. Everything I've seen for Rohos Mini Drive indicates that it can be run from a flash drive on a guest computer without special privileges: http://www.lifehacker.com.au/tips/2008/09/03/rohos_mini_drive_encrypts_your_usb_drive_files-2.html
