So it almost can perform as well as my DROID X?
Nuance updated “Dragon Go” today; it’s a free piece of voice recognition software that does a bit more than anything prior (including Siri).
For example, you could say find music by Stephenwolf - and it will give you choices from your library, iTunes, Pandora as well as YouTube and Google searches.
Pretty slick. I think Android will have something similar in 6-8 months.
PEOPLE!
It’s a phone ... you dial numbers , you speak .. why do you need a new one every few months? So you can feel depressed in 6 months when you’re phone is 2 generations old?
No IOS or Android-flavor-of-the-week for me. My WP7 phone is great. The rest of the family has IOS or Blackberry and all want to use my phone.
(1) My WP7 phone has voice controls (start an app, search with Bing, find a song, etc), though I've never tried some of the longer voice commands the Siri claims to be able to do. I can even make those commands over my bluetooth earpiece. I'm certain one of my friend's Android can use voice commands too.
(2) My phone model was NOT a top-end one and is about a year old ... it has a 5mp camera. I know there are 8mp camera phones out there already.
(3) Skydrive! I get 25GB free storage on Skydrive and have my phone set to upload every photo I take immediately to Skydrive. I can even open and edit Word docs and Excel spreadsheets on my phone and keep them on Skydrive while doing so.
OK, OK, it's obvious I like my phone. It's also obvious LOTS of people like iPhones. But what makes iPhone5 worth it? It sure isn't Apple's iTunes software.
Can’t wait for the release. My husband and I still have our first generation iPhone 3G which run terribly now but we have been patiently waiting for the iPhone 5. Very excited!!!
It may be a game changer but it’s not coming out this year, that’s for sure.
