von, 12 Oct 2011Its so neat and simple and so fun to use and it really has real functions! I wouldn't be shock... moreExcept for the web searching, SGSII can do every other function such as making calls, sending texts, and write/saving memos etc. "without touching the phone" I could do this back 6 months ago. Siri on iPhone seems to complete those tasks at the same pace as Vlingo on SGSII. Having said that, I don't use that feature because it's slower than doing it myself by hand. Of course, if you're stupid, you'd go the slow way around and tell your phone to do it for you.
Web searching directly through Siri seems to be a good idea though. But that's about it.

What I love about apple is that they take useful features and bake them to perfection!
Fo... moreVery true bro.
People make dislike Apple for their premium price and lack of flexibility, but they're among the ONLY company that takes something and makes it perfect.
Oh, and I'm also pretty sure Apple's best friend (you know who!) will try to copy this as well.
tom, 12 Oct 2011Yes they DO speak english, but have you ever been there? listen to the sounds they produce whe... moreYes I know Indian, Chinese and basically every other non-native English speaker has an accent (have you heard Germans speak...its 'zuper cool').
But hell, that's how they speak, and a voice s/w that doesn't recognise this wouldn't sell in those markets.
can u say gimmick
What I love about apple is that they take useful features and bake them to perfection!
For example, we had touch screen phones but no one wanted them until apple baked an amazing touch screen for the iphone. Same goes for video calling, Nokia & S/E were among the first to have front video calling cameras but it was very rare to use them, until apple came with the face time idea.
And now apple are using the voice command in a way that I believe all androids will follow especially the number one copyist in the world, well u know who!
Let's just admit it, fans and haters, apple are awesome, they indeed changed the way the whole world uses phones, and they did that with one damn device the iphone! Can you believe this??! Nokia and others have been making phones like for ever, but the cellphone business never was that hot and interesting until apple came abroad.
Top respect for apple and the brilliant guy Steve, rest in peace! You are indeed a genius, and will be missed.
I've been using a smartphone for two years, never tried the voice command program. Don't think it's a useful tool.
yeah it's cool and all that, but as with every other voice based app it would be awkward for people to tell their phones what it needs to do
How is that a feature available on tons of phones already.. Reintroduced by Apple becomes an impressive innovation??? Growup fanboys!!
i think this siri app is the most coolest for my liking. It could possibly be used as a security app when it can be improved of the pressing button drawback and the phone is within, but out of reach of the hand during a sudden attack. If the app is worked on and rid of the button, i will give apple 100% out of 100%, but now apple has 99%. Any thanks for the innovative trial, i quite appreciate it
Anonymous, 12 Oct 2011You DO know they speak English in China and India...right? (but not so much Japan).Yes they DO speak english, but have you ever been there? listen to the sounds they produce when they speaks, am sure you'll know why I put up this thing.
Its embarrassing until everyone else is using it @_@ Like talking to your phone hands-free or through a bluetooth headset a long time ago!!!!!
Its so neat and simple and so fun to use and it really has real functions! I wouldn't be shock if Google innovate on their voice recognition func immediately.
people who are complaining that they have to press it every time are just so stupid! COmpare pressing one time to typing a whole message or querying to the web! UGH
Neat feature, but that's all it is...
Wouldn't be doing this in public, that's for sure...
Ideally one of the selling point for this luxurious phone. superb as well as the price "Superb" =)
ummmm... like yeah ... i m going to talk to my phone in the public like a crazy person... not gonna happen...and to the ppl that s gonna say:" but but it talks back!" like um hello? its doesnt matter if it talks back or whatever its just plain stupid to talk to your phone in public ... in personal space its ok but i mean why not just use your hand to do those things anyway ..and if you are driving i dont think you should even do anything other than talking to someone on bluetooth .. distraction while driving kills ppl!!
does look very impressive, innovative from voice command function we have today.
Now thats pretty damn impressive voice recognition and AI applications !!! COOL!
Faster to do them on my own... especially if I have to press a button to talk every time I want to talk to the phone.
I guess this would be good for old people or vision impaired people.
[deleted post]So mate please enjoy your S2 with awesome specs but nothing to do with it... Do not talk about things you have no idea about... You will only embarass yourself and others...
Apple innovating again, I've been using voice commands on my cell for over 3 years, it just doesn't talk back..
