How does your email sound?
Latest posts | Feed | By Mark Brownlow
Now you have more reason to worry about your emails appearing on mobile devices.
Forget the problem with getting your beautiful image-rich work of email art to appear nicely on a two inch screen. Worry instead about how your email sounds when read out loud.
I just discovered the HP iPAQ 510 Voice Messenger, a smartphone that lets you dictate email messages and have the phone read out your emails to you.
I imagine the horror scenario where you're having dinner with your mother-in-law and the phone decides to read out that spam email from Nataliya, the lonely Russian girl. Let's hope these devices never get artificial intelligence or a sense of humor: they could play havoc with your relationships.
But to strike a note of seriousness, it is a reminder that the business of email never stops changing. Toes: keep on yours.

That does sound extremely worrisome but their must be a function on that phone not to speak each email out loud. I do not want people to hear my email from my personal friends about their life in front of everyone. Great news article.
