I have to agree that Siri does seem a little slow compared to the Google voice search, I hope they Siri for iOS 6.

GazTheHat

Interesting video.

JackClark

Good to see voice control being taken siriously. Well done Apple for taking the lead, can't wait for the updates and addition to Lion.

Tidgy

pmsl, why did apple take the lead? they bought up another company that already did it, another fine invention by apple, o wait,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I never use Siri , it's the worse unreliable feature on the 4s

JackClark

No one had placed such importance on what used to be a party trick prior to Apple with Siri. Now even the laughing Fandroids are realising it's a part of our future.

CREWJ

It's hilarious watching my Irish friend trying to use Siri. It can't understand a word he says

Tidgy

siri was available for iphone 3 as an app way before apple bought them out. So its nothing to do with apple themselves, and its yet another idea they have pinched from esle where.

I've not even started to comment on the accent and the, 'sorry no shops in this country' lol

siri is cool for setting an alarm so easy

wake me up at 6am job done

For me it's still quicker to do most tasks without siri or google voice. Plus you don't look like a dribbling window licker trying to speak into your phone and get it to do what you want.

You're right but I also think Jack has a valid point.

It may have been available in the App Store but until Apple bought Siri and released it none of the other big players really took it seriously (or siriously as Jack likes to put it )

We all know Apple didn't invent it, not sure they've really invented anything to be honest, but they innovate and this is good for us consumers as it makes the other big players in the industry take note.

Take the iPad as an example, tablets were around in several different forms before the iPad, Apple didn't invent the concept but they innovated and made it work, as a result we now have a good selection of tablets available, some good some bad.

Tidgy

problem is if the pad (ipad or other) wasn't release via the hype associated with apple, would it have taken off?


Dont get me wrong, apple are ace at marketing and packaging a product, thats what they good at

Doesn't mean its good though lol

JackClark

2st prize in this months cliche competition. Be proud.

Looie

Not having a pop at anyone, but does anybody actually use either version of this?

I have it on my Galaxy II - never used it, never had any need for it, and as I know lots of people with Iphone or Galaxy's I've gone out of my way to ask them - not one person admits to ever using this, and they all admit they have no interest in it whatsoever......... so it begs the question, why does anyone think it needs to be on a phone...?

The people I know must be a general cross section of the typical consumer base that have/use these phones and if no one has any use for it - why are people making such a fuss over how fast one verson is over the other?

All seems a bit pointless to me. IMHO of course.....

"Wake me up in 40 minutes" most days.

Messages have all been dictated for the last few days, wrist in plaster.

One calculation so far today.

Siri knows What's the terminal velocity of a sparrow carrying a coconut ? Lol ask him

Dedrater

It is great (in theory) when you are driving, i say that because, no matter how the video portrays it, Google Voice search it still a load of s***, for me at least.

Scooby Soon!

as far as i know this is not on S2 yet, for the regular google search by voice I think quite large percentage of searchs on android phones are done with it

apparently another patent infringement against apple. this time borrowing from china!

JackClark

There are hundreds every day.

Dedrater

Yeah and that s*** needs to stop, they are not litigating against each other anymore, they are using the legal system to do business meetings and to wrangle money out of each other. This is not good news to us as consumers.

Apple are, unnecessarily, seriously harming the image of the company, if momentum gains then in a few years you could have millions of people boycotting the company as it is more wildly known how they are acting.

JackClark

It's Apple's fault?

Dedrater

I used them as an example because they are the most litigious and Apple relies on it's image much more so than say, Samsung or HTC.

JackClark

Most litigious! Hardly. Compare them to Google and prepare for a mild shock.

Apple are the champions of marketing selling old tech as new. Droid is ever evolving to a point it makes apple look snail like
