Anonymous, 13 Feb 2013However I look at it, these assistants are mere gimmicks. I can perform tasks faster by hand.Some of them are not good, but some are great..

Best one for me..

Even while phone is locked:

1. Hold down home button
2. Say "set alarm for 8am".
3. Done.

or

1. Hold down home button
2. Say "remind me to pay my electricity tomorrow".
3. Done.

AnonD-77895, 13 Feb 2013What about S Voice? I think it is just as good as Siri and it turns in actual weather reports... moreThe S Voice isn't that widely used. Only the Samsung users that recently purchased a phone has access to them. Though, I must agree that it is quite capable.

I wish I could post a photo here, but on my iPhone when I asked "why did the chicken cross the road" the response was "whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends on your frame of reference, according to Einstein". Funny, but true!

Anyway great review and write up good read.
