Random Idea for a BlackBerry App.

One of the free ‘we are so sorry we screwed up and really hope we don’t go bankrupt soon because our owner is more interested in getting an NHL team than paying attention to us’ applications offered by RIM to blackberry users is shazam.  Evidently, shazam is one of those apps which identify song titles after listening to a few bars.  Kind of like the ‘Name That Tune’ of applications…

If RIM wanted to give me a truly useful application, they would make one that would do the same with voices, so that when I walked into a bar, and the barmaid said ‘Hi Paul.  Do you want a Guinness?’ the app would tell me the barmaid’s name and I wouldn’t have to ask her for a sixth time.

Now that would be a useful app.
