+It would be sterotyping to say that all nerds seek to avoid human interaction, but let's face all of us, even non-nerds have at least one friend we avoid calling. Perhaps they talk too long, perhaps they're simply phone-awkward. Whatever the case, Slydial, the phone service that allows you to go straight to voicemail, as rolled out a slew of mobile apps to make the task a bit easier.
+
+Previously you needed to call Slydial and then enter the destination phone number, but that extra step has been eliminated thanks to Slydial's new [iPhone app (also available for BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile platforms).
+
+Much like the Fring VOIP app we looked at earlier this year, the Slydial app is a separate keypad app that dials out through Slydial's web service. To use it just install the app, launch it and choose from your contacts list. your call will then go straight to that person's voicemail.
+
+Slydial notes that some modile carrier may show a missed call, but most simply pop up a voicemail, which lets you get to the point without having to wade through your friends' long-winded tales of vacation in Aruba (that's what blogging is for people, making the boring story optional).
+
+All the Slydial apps are free, you can grab them from the [Slydial site][3], and the iPhone version can be found here (App Store link).
