PhoneWord
PhoneWord is a piece of software that is kinda cool, but I have no idea why anyone would need it, let alone pay for it, but what do I know? What is PhoneWord, you ask? Well, it is a small program that will represent any phone number you give it in digits and words make up from the digits in the number. The website gives the example of 355-DUNK.Besides being a standalone application, PhoneWord also includes an Address Book plugin that lets you get a PhoneWord for any phone number in your contacts with a click of the mouse.
PhoneWord will set you back $9.99 and requires OS X 10.3 or higher.

There are several web sites that will do this for you for free. You wonder how this could possibly be useful? Well, I once used one of those sites to find phone words in order to impress a girl after she gave me her number. Fortunately, she found the results amusing and didn't laugh me off as a total geek. It contributed to the start of a great relationship.

If some of those have good phone words they will be easier to remember and you won't have to look them up. Besides, it's fun. :) There's an idea. Use it for entertainment at a party.
