Google to Launch Siri Rival Soon?

Why is it no surprise that the company that advertises its users and its products as robots and machines decides to release a natural voice processor that will have no personality? And yet they view this as a good thing, because everything needs to be lifeless and robotic :rolleyes:
 
I like it... It'll be completely system wide and available on pretty much every android new and old. Siri may be interesting but it has limitations and if google can improve on those and make it more connected and keep it alive in the background so it's always listening that'd be awesome...voice to unlock could be an addition too...

Came at the same time that the one in the picture you have posted. You are the one saying that the first device looked like that and this is false, they looked like that and touch only.

No, I have said that YOU forgot that this form factor was not the only form factor SINCE the beginning

You sill stepped over your own words: "they looked like that and touch only". It could only be surmised from your comment that "they" does not refer to "touch only".

So you don't agree with the quote you did about Google copying BB and then changing to iPhone like phones?
 
I really hope Google doesn't, they just keep copying other applications/developments out there...
 
Android = Software (Hardware Agnostic)
iPhone = Hardware w/ dedicated Software

is that so hard to understand?

My answer:

On January 9, 2007, Jobs announced the iPhone at the Macworld convention, receiving substantial media attention,

The first advertisement for iPhone, titled "Hello," aired during the 79th Academy Awards on February 25, 2007 on ABC. The ad features clips from several notable films and television shows over the last 70 years, showing iconic characters answering telephones and saying "hello" or a similar greeting. The iPhone is shown at the end with the caption "Hello. Coming in June."

The link provided above is November 2007.

REading is comprehension? Really are you claiming that you doesn't have said anything about Android posting a Google prototype with Android in it?

You have to read what's there, not make up stuff in your mind. No mention of android in that particular post. It's a comment on hardware, nothing more.

Damn man, the answer is self explanatory. I see you need an "Ice Cream Sandwich."

Now in C:

When they have advertised like that?

Really? (and I'm referring to the Android platform if this wasn't made clear, just a heads up)

Let's take a look at the videos:

Number 1:

Number 2:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5xtHOn0SUY&feature=related

(If you don't feel like watching all of them then the first two should suffice)

Number 3:

A few extras:

And let's not forget this for the Dual Core Tegra fans, just as an added bonus:

I actually do find some Droid commercials to be interesting in that they're similar to those you'd find in action movies, and they're pretty good. But that's besides the point, because they definitely depict their phones/tablets as machines (which they are of course, but clearly in a more "robotic" sense for lack of a better word), and even depict their users in the same way. Maybe some people enjoy the idea of being robotic, which is why I stated it unsurprising that the Android version of Siri would be lifeless and robotic, which fits their philosophy well.

The video only serves to drive a few points home.
a) One could argue that Google had better notifications first from that video, and I wouldn't disagree.
b) One could argue that Google thought imitating a Blackberry was the way to go, until they saw how iOS was doing and completely revamped... and I wouldn't disagree.

For every person who says, "There's only so many ways to make the Android OS look and act," or, "There are only so many ways to make a tablet," my only rebuttal is: Where were they before Apple did it?

Or, they thought: Hey, both BBphones and PDA-type phones are gonna get huge. Better stay agnostic to hardware.

p.s.

both icons-in-a-grid phones and rounded square tablets were available pre iPhone and iPad.

Yes, really. Your quote:

The one that are releasing that natural voice processor is Google, the ads you have posted are not from Android or Google, are from Verizon.

And so this is false:

The ad from Google themselves, very robotic:

They are getting quicker at copying Apple.

Remind me what Google has done that isn't a copy or buy-out?
