Have an awesome idea for a voice application for scientists?

The Future of Voice is Applications
And how you can win $5000 proving it! . Michael Robertson (founder of MP3.com way back when before it was sold to Viacom) is challenging users of his new service, SIPPhone.com, to develop a voice "killer app."

So now if you go and develop an application using the Tellme Developers Studio studio.tellme.com, you can test and even deploy that application for free on SIPphone developer.sipphone.com. It's easy to get started today, just develop your application with Tellme Studio and you can test your application using the SIPphone-Tellme developer access number, 1 (747) 555-VXML. When you are ready to deploy your application, we will help you migrate it to its own SIPphone number, help you publicize it, and even start earning money.

MR will be awarding prizes from $100 to $5000 and that's not including the fame you'll get for being recognized as the developer. I'm sure the scientific community can come up with some awesome applications. How about a PubMed application where you can call out the PubMed ID of an article and the voice app will reply by reading the abstract back to you?
