Previously catered to BlackBerry, Vlingo lets you speak out everything from text messages to e-mails and Web navigation commands — then it translates that into typed out action on your phone. Its latest version added support for spoken Twitter and Facebook updates and even the ability to have a message you speak read back to you aloud.

Now, Vlingo is up for grabs at the Apple App Store. It boasts all the same functions as the BlackBerry version as well as a specialized map lookup tool: You say, for example, “Find a dry cleaners in Seattle” — and you get a Google Map with all the local spots in place.

A demo video of the Vlingo iPhone app follows.

Vlingo’s first version — debuted in June — let you speak out text messages, e-mails, and even Web navigation commands. It also allowed voice commands for common phone features such as number dialing or looking up contacts.

In addition to providing the option of spoken updates to your Facebook and Twitter status, Vlingo 2.0 also boasts full spoken keyboard support, the option to have a message you spoke read back to you aloud, and the ability to launch a host of previously unsupported programs:

• Address Book

• Media
• MemoPad
• Messages
• Opera

Vlingo 2.0 is available free here for BlackBerry Pearl, Curve, and 8800 series phone users in the U.S. and Canada. U.K.-based users can get a beta version here. (How about a non-BlackBerry version now, Vlingo? I want to play!)

Vlingo, based in Cambridge, Mass., has been around for just over two years. The company secured $20 million from Yahoo earlier this year.
