Post your comments for Review: Jott for iPhone here

"Jott is compatible with any iPhone or iPod touch running the iPhone 2.0 software update."
I didn't think the touch had a microphone. Is Jott really going to be useful on an iPod Touch?

"The Jott application doesn’t talk to the iPhone’s calendar, unfortunately, so you can’t connect a note to a calendar item."
Maybe not, but the completely cool thing is you can link Jott to your Google Calendar, and create events by simply speaking the details (what, where, when). And, if I could get it to work consistently, link to Evernote.

You can also tap out notes on the keyboard, so it'll work fine. Not as slick as voice recording, but functional.

When I click through links in your article or the Jott web site, I get a message in iTunes saying ..."your request could not be completed. The item you've requested is not currently available in the Australian Store."
Is this a problem in other countries and if it's free what is the difficulty in international distribution?

paleface: I think the product relies on Jott Networks' services that are only available in the US.
As such, it makes sense to limit it to US users.

Jott on my phone has been extremely buggy. I have had to reload it twice, because once it locks up it stays locked up until you uninstall it.
And it locked up in the middle of the grocery store, with the grocery list on it. So I went home.
I like it a lot when it works, but so far it has burned me at least twice. Looking forward to a more stable update.

Jott is very buggy on my 3g. It constantly displays "waiting for transcription". I finally deleted it.

[iminfenix]

That's a known bug. See the Jott FAQ's. A fix is top priority and coming soon.

thanks NoAH - it would be good if developers and reviewers could mention if apps don't work worldwide - esp now that the iPhone is now legitimately internationally available.

"(You can, however, enable an auto-e-mail feature on Jott’s Web site.)"
Rob, are you saying it's possible to have notes created in Jott for iPhone automatically emailed to me? I don't see how to enable that on their web site.

[iminfenix]

Their FAQ's say that, "currently", confirmation messages for notes created on the iPhone CANNOT be automatically e-mailed to you (or another confirmation address you choose. That action is the default for voice messages created on the toll-free number, however. I infer that they will be updating the iPhone software to send confirmation messages soon.

I contacted Jott and they will be making a link to MobileMe Calendars like Google Calendar. You can link your Google calendar to Outlook if you use a PC and in Turn will be Pushed to your iPhone Calendar and then pushed also to MobileMe.
In Google Calendar click on Manage Calendar bottom left and do the Mobile Set-up. Then go to Google calendar help and see a link to a program to download that syncs calendar. Once done your iPhone contacts will be pushed to Google Gmail as well.

The new in-ear headphones from Apple (due any day now) are supposed to contain a microphone.
