iPhone App: Telegram I’m very intrigued by this new application, which dubs itself “as personal as calling, as unintrusive as SMS and as instant as email.” Basically, it allows you to record short voice messages and send them to a friend or group of friends. It’s like push-to-talk with a twist. The interface looks great, it works internationally, and messages can be sent via WiFi or the cellular network. The cost is $9.99, and I imagine your friends must have Telegram too for it work, but this app could prove quite interesting.

This IS a great app, I know because RIM’s Blackberry already has the function as standard on all their models with 4.2 OS or later as part of the Blackberry Messenger app. I would assume the iPhone variation as however will record more than 7 seconds at a time.
Unless you’re really going to be using it daily, I wouldn’t pay for it.

Yeah, the problem with an app like this is that your friends also have to have it for it to work. I never ended up getting it for just that reason. It doesn’t seem to have caught on.

Just downloaded and installed this. Stupid! Record something, then it will be send to the receiver using a “noreply@polarbearfarm.com” address. WTF? My iPhone can’t mail or something? Now the message ends up in someones spam folder.
