Actually, there is a web service called http://drop.io that I use. You can set up free "drops" of 100 mbs each. You can put anything you want in them: files, pictures, music, etc. They are kinda a combination of a blog and an ftp site. Anyway, every drop has it's own phone number, and if you call the drop you can leave a message, which is then converted to an mp3 file. You can subscribe to any drop to receive emails (or you can subscribe by RSS, twitter, etc) when it is update, so when I can the drop I get an email that I can then file as necessary.

I use drop.io for other things as well, like shameless self-promotion. Check out my personal "portfolio" that I have been using for the job search: http://drop.io/tommykeene

Hey Tommy – I have been using Evernote – using iphone – they also have blackberry, allows you to send yourself web clips, via the email address – to your evernote page.
not exactly sending it to my email but I can email webclips, photos, etc to evernote website.
keeps bunches of stuff in one place, voice memos, notes, web clips, photos etc..

ps: also using toodledo as you recommended. good so far thanks for the tips

So does this mean if I call you a bunch of times it automatically adds a bunch of tasks to your RTM list? Hmmmmm
