I have found an awesome voice to text app. It's not searchable in the iphone store because it just went live but you can get it from kungfurabbits and check out the vtext link.
It keeps your hands free when replying or sending texts which I think is awesome.
Can someone post a more complete description? How does this compare to Dragon Dictation and Vlingo? Is it completely hands-free from text description through address selection and sending?
THE BEST WAY AVAILABLE TO SEND AND RECEIVE SMS ON THE IPHONE.
JUST SAY TELL JASON ILL MEET YOU AT STARBUCKS IN 15MINUTES OR REPLY TO JASONS CONVERSATION BY SAYING ILL MEET YOU AT STARBUCK IN 15 MINUTES AND YOUR VOICE WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE TRANSCRIBED TO TEXT AND SENT TO JASON! WHAT COULD BE MORE EASY WHEN YOURE ON THE GO?

As one of the developers of vText, I figured I could comment on this. We chose Yap as our free-form transcription provider because the quality of the reco was reliably higher than Vlingo, Dragon, etc. Additionally, we opted not to send messages from the native iPhone client because of the number of steps involved with jumping in and out of the application.
