That's awesome! I wish Siri learned from its users more.
I also wish Apple would include a specially devised paragraph that each user can read so Siri can build a phoneme database to better understand user's specific speech patterns. On top of of that I'd like Apple to include the cVard sound file option into Contacts so you can train Siri on how to pronounce specific names properly.
Yes. Go beyond the search bubble... Google Now is a LIFE BUBBLE.
When did "they did a few examples in a demo" become equivalent to having a finished project?
It's not vaporware? Then where can I get the finished product?
You'd think people would have learned after 30 years of personal computer experience that a public demo is staged and scripted. Real life isn't so clean or simple.
Give me a break. It is no different than Apple has done for years of keynotes. Available same day for developers and available to the general public in 2 weeks.
Your predudice is remarkable even for a rabid Apple fan. It works as advertised according to those who have installed it. I have not installed it since I don't have an Android phone but given the 'demos' of Apple's glorious new maps solution I may have the need to try JB out very soon as what I've seen so far of Apple's vaporware looks very discouraging.
Not only will the data used surprise you, but the personal data saved, harvested and sold to the highest bidder...
You mean like Siri records and stores each of your searches and requests for some unspecified time-frame? Siri is at it's roots a search engine. Like most other search engines it harvests data from both your device and personal search requests to "offer an improved user experience". Google Now is not any different probably
So why do you think Google is wasting their time on something like this, seeing as how according to Fandroids they've already had it for years?
PS How do I get it on my Galaxy Nexus, I thought Jellybean wasn't coming until July?
It's faster and more robust now. I can search for movie times, sports stats, algebra questions etc etc. Yes we've had it for years, but now it's even better.
There are at least 4 builds of Jelly Bean available on XDA. I've had mine since day 1.
I've now watched two videos on Google's new service, with one being a comparison. While it's possible to make Siri slower so the Now wins every round I don't have any reason to suspect that there was any foul play.
I also like how Now will show you web results on the front page instead of having you hit web search or say 'yes' and then wait for Safari to load. I have to say that I'm quite impressed with Google's effort here. If anyone was going to challenge Apple on this front it was going to be Google but I didn't think it would be so soon.
Knockoff? Google has had voice commands ages before Siri.
Updating it this just makes it even better. When I woke up this morning there was a card on my screen with the amount of traffic I would run into on my way to work.
It's really useful and you don't even have to think about. The data is just there.
Just remember, with Google you are the product! I wouldn't want Googs knowing that that was important to me. Sure, every little piece of the picture might be innocuous but as a whole...
If you trust Google with your information, then good luck!
Oh, and I was using voice commands on my Mac many years ago but this is not what Siri is about! (You know that though - right?)
If anyone was going to challenge Apple on this front it was going to be Google but I didn't think it would be so soon.
I've found Google to understand my voice better than any other voice recognition platform out there and there could be a slight accent issue as well in both of my languages.

So I have to root my phone.
Hey did you know, here in Australia, 'root' is slang for f u c k.
So where are the people saying that Google is artificially limiting Google Now from running on phones with older versions of Android OS and arguing that there are no resources needed to run the service.

Is "Maroon Mushroom" the mycological version of "Astroturf?"
Sure sounds like it.
Your post sound like it was cut and pasted from a Google keynote transcript!

Hahahha.... another Googledrone is trying to tell us that Google invented Siri before Apple made it popular.
Seriously, you're delusional or you're just a TROLL.
The service can even predict how long it will take for a user to get to their next appointment and send a notification when it's time to leave.
So it's not just AI... it's psychic? It knows if I plan to walk, cycle or drive, or if I have any plans to stop on the way or if I want to arrive early?
I love apple as much as the next person, but as a lover of technology. Goole now makes siri look like a joke. I hope Apple comes out improves siri to make it as functional as Google now.

so Microsoft staged and scripted Surface crashing in their live demo? who'd a thunk it!

I wonder if it will tell you where to eat, on the way.

Hey why did that guy in the review call it "totally new technology" for Google?
According to a whole lot of trolls, Android has had this for years.

You can avoid Google altogether if you wish.

It knows once you start moving. GPS and all.
Yes, I imagine it IS tracking your movements.
