Bubble and speak text to Airtel customers

Billions of Airtel subscribers across India can now save their voiceboxes for charity work thanks to this announcement from Airtel and BubbleTALK. For those of you who thought Bubble was just a greasy babyfaced Big Brother reject with a penchant for RUBBISH hats think again, it is actually a mobile service which turns your SMS into voice and delivers it straight to your mates in voice form.
Now - call me cynical - but I have never been able to picture a mischief-free situation where voiceSMS is useful. Is it a consumer thing, will i be using it to text my deeply patient girlfriend to tell her to put the plastic sheeting out again? Or is it an enterprise thing which will be used by the NHS or Pizza Hut to inform patients of terminal illnesses and imminent meaty treats? Good luck to them though, they have certainly got the awards and customers to back up their robotic chat. Think i will sit firmly on the fence on this one because if i condemn it they are bound to get bigger than Google and take over the world.
