When it hits the Google Play store I’ll buy it, of that there is no doubt.

But it will be a pity to pay $1.50 a word. For all mine will ever say is “Denny Crane”.

In 2000, I heard Shatner claim that “technology seems to be an evil demon that’s come to destroy us all” – and that he was doing ads for dotcoms without having ever used the internet, because he liked the money. Has he changed?

A Tom Baker app does sound cooler, but I still think this falls under the rubric of “wonderful things”.

I'd much rather have a return to Tom Baker reading my SMS messages. (Incidentally, the above surely wins the prize for 'BoingBoing post that reads most like an advert')

If it’s “best described as a sort of magnetic poetry assembler where every word is read in the offbeat actor’s distinctive tone” then it doesn’t sound like that has anything to do with slam, which is a live competition.

When is the Android version coming out?

I couldn’t find anything to that effect on the developer’s website. This simple app’s algorithms can’t be that hard to port…
