Of all the areas of our smartphones we'd call the most precious, text messages would be somewhere near the summit. On top of that, it's one of those segments we like to keep the most private - obscured from the eyes of those prying brown-nosers.
The good people over at eFusion have introduced an application to the App Store which offers the ability for users to record conversations which are taking place via services such as Skype, or through the use of other Voice Over IP services such as the iOS Viber application.
