    We do have a sound level meter. If that didn't move for you, it probably means we didn't get any sound input from your microphone. As for the sending, we are investigating it right…

    >> Also, why are people still developing exclusively for iPhone? Last quarter there were four times as many Android phones sold as iPhones. I can only speak for myself, but develop…

    Great feedback, thank you! I certainly see your point, and I think it really depends on the use case. VoiceGem wasn't intended as a text replacement, but more for personal messages…

    Thanks! Yes, our data shows a surprising amount of longer messages. As for voicemail, same here. Arda addressed this in a comment above: it's just not used for asynchronous communi…

    We see two main differences to existing voice applications. First, VoiceGem is meant to be usable by anyone (without having to install an iPhone application, for example). This is …

    I do have a source for this, I saw the offer myself. I was also told that this is given to all interns, no matter what department. That being said, maybe this applied only to grad …

    For Stanford CS grads, it's anything but BS. From what I've heard (being at Stanford), it's usually somewhere around $80 - $120. Google, for example, pays $8,000 a month - just for…
