Also of note is the introduction of a Jott Express desktop application built using Adobe AiR. This is a small desktop app (for Windows and Mac) that allows you to quickly created and view Jott items without having to visit a web site or use a clunky web UI. Jott has also introduced integration with Microsoft Outlook meaning you can now use their voice transcription service to add Outlook calendar items, reminders and to draft email messages.

Jott out of Beta
Jott has made the big move out of beta which, as you might guess, means it is no longer entirely free. Users (now customers!) have the option to stick with a free ad-supported service with limited capabilities or to sign up for pay-as-you-go or monthly service plans. The low-end "pro" service is only $3.95/month which is quite reasonable in my estimation and so I am going with that. Don't have any feedback on how intrusive the "ad-supported" ads will be. Details can be found here.

Hi Ron!
My name is Jon Bell and I'm the guy responsible for Jott Express. I've been ego searching the app this morning to see how it's been received and file bug reports.
Please let me know if you have any ideas/suggestions/bug reports/enthusiastic praise you'd like to share.
Thanks :)
Jon
Well, I installed it on a iMac 10.5.x and a HP XP laptop and both were flawless. No issues connecting from inside a firewall or over a VPN. The app seems to do what I expect which is pretty good :-)
I did notice I needed to hit Sync Jotts to get them in sync after making some changes. But I assume this was just me being impatient and that they would have eventually caught up with each other.
"Flawless", eh? That's what I like to hear :)
Yeah, syncing Jotts happens on a 30 minute interval right now on the assumption that people aren't using it as heavily as email.
