Yes, I'd thought of that. I address my own concerns in this way:
1. The things I record are never anything that I wouldn't want someone else to hear, so I don't care if the author is intercepting my recordings. 2. I use MX Logic for spam filtering, so I don't really care if this programmer sells my email address to spammers of not. I never see the approximately 400 spam emails per day that MX Logic's system intercepts, so I don't really care if that grows. 3. I don't know what this will cost when it goes live, but for now it's free and kinda neat. I did ask that the capability be added to send the voice recordings by email, if configured, rather than through the server the developer has set up to send them through. Presumably with that option one could simply purchase the product and not pay the probable ongoing cost of using the service as it is now. That's enough for me, for now, for free. One concern occurs to me now that you mention it: how does one know that the author isn't sending other stuff from one's Palm device to his server for data mining. THAT could be a concern about any Treo application. Some additional response from the developer would be appropriate at this point.

Where does the information sent with a voice message go and how is it used? If I send a voice message to my primary email account will I be opening myself up for even more spam or the possibility of having my email address sold as part of a list? There is virtually no information about this company on their web site - are they legitimate, are they trustworthy, and what are their security policies? Does anyone else worry about this kind of issue or is it just me? --- In [email protected] <mailto:treo%40yahoogroups.com> , "damienmoroney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > www.aventvoice.com > > Download directly to your Treo 600 or 650 software that allows you to > record voice messages which are automatically sent to the email address > of your choice. > > Use it to send yourself reminders or capture notes on the run.
