ShSh Software has just released TakePhone Gold for iPhone to the iTunes App Store.  For those of you familiar with the Palm OS version of TakePhone, you know that an iPhone user will get a program that truly extends the phone’s capabilities.  This, backed by a great developer that both listens to user requests and provides frequent updates, all adds up to TakePhone Gold for iPhone being a terrific addition to any iPhone.  With TakePhone Gold selling for only $1.99, it’s definitely worth checking out!

The Search screen provides users with the i-Bar, for the familiar dial-by-photo experience.  Placed directly below the iBar, is the familiar dial pad, which can be used to search for contacts.  ShSh Software has included a variety of useful searching features, including T9.  Also included on the Search screen is a visual reminder for the most recent call.  For someone like me, this is great, as I tend to only call home when I am on the road.

The Speed Dial screen provides quick access to your most used contacts, with the ability to organize them over 50 different entries.  Tap once for quick dialing, or tap and hold for an extended option list, allowing the user to choose other phone numbers associated with the contact or to start a SMS message.

Last but not least, we have the handy Redial screen.  Sorted with the most recent calls at the top, this is a great way to log when called or how many times you called a person recently.  I’ve also found it very useful when trying to remember a phone number of a person who called me, but I was too forgetful to add their number to my contacts list.

TakePhone Gold definitely has the promise to be a worthwhile addon to the native dialer on the iPhone, bringing together several features to make the experience both fast and enjoyable.  TakePhone Gold is now available for sale in the iTunes App Store for $1.99.
