I got a new BlackBerry and am loving it. Stand Alone PDA's are all but
dead with the exception of the iPod Touch. But on the old Palm I miss
some of the Palm's features and one of these is the Voice Memo app. My
BB does not sync voice memos and requires one to drag and drop from the
drive to the desktop, you cant easily catagorize voice memos, give them
names and the like. I will miss the Palm Zire 72's voice memo app.

Blackberrys are nice BUT: I can write Graffiti alphabet with a stylus a
good deal faster than I can type on a miniature QWERTY keyboard.
Oh for the day when speech recognition is developed to the point where
anyone can use it for speech to text. I've tried a couple of speech
recognition programs and they are simply not able to reliably translate
my speech to text.

Its not the same thing, but have you tried either jott, or reqall?
Both are systems that you call into, speak a message, and they convert
it to text and email/text it to you (or someone else). Jott has
features to update blogs, twitter, etc - Reqall can integrate with
Outlook and a note management system called Evernote. (I seemed to
have some problems with Reqall's outlook sync and stopped using it - I
just get the email msgs and move them where I need them - but it may
not have been reqall's fault.)

Each has a small monthly fee - check out jott.com or reqall.com.
