Default Bluetooth Speakerphone Question

So apparently Bluetooth in-car speakerphones have become totally awesome while I wasn't looking. There are a bunch that will read text messages to you while you drive and allow you to dictate text responses. Here's one: http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/US...Roadster-US-EN

The problem is I can't find one with this text reading and dictating functionality that is compatible with the iPhone 4. Anybody know if such a beast exists?

I have a BlueAnt S4, and it's supposed to do it. The app is supposedly terrible though, so I haven't even tried it.

Are you sure it's iPhone compatible? I can't find an app for it. How do you like it in general?

Yeah, it's iPhone compatible. The app is called Vlingo. It's not rated very highly.

The S4 has been great so far. It's easy to use and the speaker sounds good. It'll even let you use the iPhone's voice dialing.

Okay, cool. I checked out Vlingo and yeah, it seems like a PITA to use. Plus you have to spend half your time looking at the phone and there are way too many things that could go wrong. Thanks!
