| Iris is Sort of Siri for Android

We were still in the fun mode, but when we started using it the results were actually good, really good. | Quote: |
You can grab the early, early beta APK here but I recommend waiting for the official version to arrive this week. It just goes to show you that amazing things can pop up everywhere.

The coolest thing? They finished the app in eight hours.

Wow, Apple got taken for a ride. Paying a rumored $100 million plus for Siri and then allocating the single largest team of engineers within Apple to spend a year refining it and integrating it into iOS 5. They should've just hired these guys for a couple weekends instead. Posted via RS Mobile | |

google's voice search works pretty well, also the mic option is pretty much on the keyboard... it's about 75% accurate I would say, if not more.

the only thing it doesnt do is talk back but i imagine all these apps will be adding that in after siri 
there's supposed to be another one... i think its Dragon something.... which is more accurate but i dont find any of this stuff useful so /shrug

It controls virtually every aspect of the phone and more. All other devices get the app which does for the most part, what Siri does without being integrated, IMO.

Apple just likes to hype up things that have already existed in the past. Voice integration has been available since Windows Mobile days and nobody ever thought 2 shits about it.

It's when the fanatics go on about these "awesome" "features" that make me go 
People who are spouting the current Apple mantra of "nobody wants a bigger screen" are going to be singing a different tune when the iphone 5 comes out  | |
