TalkBox Voice Messenger is a new, free iOS application, which allows iPhone users to send "voice IMs" to their friends and family.

Features of the application include:
Personally, I think this is quite a good idea. Sometimes, a phone call would be preferable to using TalkBox, however, with this app the recipient of the IM can "talk" back at a convenient time.
