Secretly Record Audio On Windows Phone 7
I was dropped a tip about 2 voice recording apps that are in the marketplace. The first is a dictaphone type app but it’s free (called Audio Phone 7) and it’s enjoying a solid 4 stars. The second is a bit more interesting. It has all of the same functionality but one neat addition – … Read more
