Listen to your e-mails on an iPod

MagneticTime allows you to listen to your Outlook & Outlook Express emails
& Word documents like songs (Audio mp3 files) on your iPod, mobile phone or
PDA. About $50. 

This software is a plug-in for Outlook or Outlook Express that can convert
the text from your e-mails into MP3 files. After the text-to-speech
conversion is completed, you can transfer the MP3 files into a portable music
player (such as an iPod), PDA or even a cell phone (any device that plays MP3
files, and these days pretty much every one does). The software can also
convert the text in Word documents into MP3 files, so instead of reading that
long report from marketing you can now listen to the long report on a mobile
device. Rules can be set up to only copy specific e-mails (such as only from
"Joe Smith" or e-mails that contain the phrases "top secret marketing
project" or "paradigm shift"), so you can avoid copying all of your e-mails
into the conversion folder.
