I am planning to get the Galaxy Nexus and frankly, it looking like an iPhone or having unified search has not even crossed my mind as the reason for me making the switch to Android. I have an iPhone 4 and I have NEVER used the unified search function.
Huh - could that be because your iPhone 4 does not have the feature? Siri came out with the 4s...
The universal search feature, aka Spotlight, was added in iOS 3.
sd-diver is correct about Siri being iPhone 4S only, but Evoken never said anything about the personal assistant or voice commands, just the universal search.
I owned every iPhone that came out except the 4S and I can say that I never used the Spotlight feature on my 3GS when I got it with iOS 3 or on my iPhone 4 with iOS 4. I now own the Galaxy Nexus and I also never use its built in universal search feature for searching the device.

It doesn't have Siri but the unified search (Spotlight) has been in iOS for some time already, this is to what I was referring to in my post. I never use it and I think the majority of people don't either.
You actually believe that Samsung did not copy Apple. Who is talking Bullshit now
Yes! I mean if you are arguing the the the Samasung/Google Galaxy nexus looks like or the Android OS looks like iphone then you are mistaken. First of all google phone ( HTC nexus s and Samsung galaxy nexus) are developed by google meaning google direct support and OS. The OS is the official Google issues version of the OS without themes or tweaks by manufacturers. So if you think the UI is similar (which it is not, i have an iphone 4 as well) then apple will have to sue Google for this particular phone, as the the OS is pure google android experience(ASOP, the best) . Secondly how can you say Nexus looks like iphone? Nexus has a curved look, larger screen no button at all ( on screen buttons) and is sleeker than an iphone.

Please stop talking. Interestingly enough, your username couldn't be further from accurate.
People buy a Galaxy Nexus. Because it is a Google/Samsung phone.

Never did I once say that...ever...I see you failed at reading comprehension too. Even if Samsung copied 99% of Apple products (I believe it's closer to 75%) the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus S fall in that 25%.

so the iPhone and the Galaxy Nexus are twins? The Galaxy Nexus is a direct rip off of the iPhone?
You're smarter than that Skil.
There is enough "no shit" evidence that Samsung is a blatant thief and copycat without having to brainwash yourself into believing that EVERYTHING by them is a copycat product.
...that if a single patent can block sales of a feature-rich modern smartphone, the design and manufacture of similarly complex technological marvels would become economically infeasible.
Interesting that exactly the same lawyers made the "It only takes one bullet to kill" argument regarding patents in Motorola vs Apple in Germany.
Maybe Apple should quote them back on that.
The market share argument is ridiculous, imagine a street peddler of pirate DVD's trying that defence?
I only make 0.005% of what those Hollywood fatcats make, not guilty, your honour.

you seen to like to show your superior at reading and grammar, that's fine by me, but your comments are still bull.
Btw: I did not mention Nexus in my comments, just Samsung overall.
do you believe the Galaxy Nexus, a Google phone manufactured by Samsung, is a copycat product like Samsung's own products, for the most part, are?
Don't understand your question... what I am saying is that Samesung's housing designs are old news and that the world has moved on. Now everyone is chasing Apple, hungry for its success.
you seen to like to show your superior at reading and grammar, that's fine by me, but your comments are still bull.

Mentioning Samsung overall in this case is a cop out and infers that all the facts about Samsung evident in the recent Apple v Samsung case also applies here...they don't.
Trade dress isn't ripped off, look and feel isn't...in fact the phones are so different they couldn't be mistaken for one another from even 10 ft away which is far greater than the average distance a user is away from a phone before or after purchase.
So your argument is essentially:
"He had to have stolen from that store owner even though he was no where near the store because we have him on Camera a week ago stealing some candy from that same store!!!!"

ummmm, okay...10 pts for irrelevancy but at least you're correct.
Comments
he asked a legitimate question...albeit sarcastically.
If you so easily block out dissenting opinion I can only imagine how much character you don't have.

That's nice. I'm glad that you do not use Siri on your iphone4 or ipad2.
?Siri came out with the iPhone 4S…
the universal search feature was present on iOS before Siri wasn't it?
The copiers at Samsung are firing on all pistons.
The universal search feature, aka Spotlight, was added in iOS 3.

you just read "Samsung" and go crazy without even considering the content.
The Galaxy Nexus is not at all like the iPhone besides them both being touchscreen smartphones...

I have a Galaxy Nexus. I bought it because it has a much larger screen and 4G.
Since I have an iPad so I know how iOS operates.
The Galaxy Nexus looks nothing like an iPhone.
It operates nothing like an iPhone.
I cant see this one going well for Apple....
Many people are going to see this one a harassment plain and simple....
