Not sure if this was asked before, if all Moto X phones are activated by someone saying "Ok, Google Now", what happens when you are in a room full of Moto X?
Kind of silly. And seems like it could be a nightmare in terms of possible design combinations. Seems like more trouble than its worth.
And all carriers in the world are co-operating and will be hiding the huge amount of data transfer needed for a 24x7 audio transmission and not letting it appear on their users' bills?
Take a 50 kB/s as the bandwidth needed for audio transfer, this adds up to 50 KB/s * 3600 s/h * 24 h/d * 30 d/month = 907 GB/month.
I'd hope that's configurable. Saying "Okay Google Now..." every time like that would get real old real soon...
RTP.
If this doesn't fall under the same scrutiny as Xbox One, hypocrisy prevails.
*YAWN* Doesn't look very Apple related.. and why would I as an Apple fan, on an Apple site, care about some crapola Android device? My Nexus 7 was enough to make me hate that lousy OS.
I say this to myself every day I read this website now. I really don't care about Android or Google. If I wanted to read about it or talk about it, I'd go to a website that chooses to focus on that. Personally Google could do back flips and spit rainbows out of its arse. It's not gonna change my feelings. Apple does things that are simply more than the sum of their parts and makes products that are worthwhile and valuable. Google and others want to make cheap beta crap that sounds great on a piece of paper but in reality become novelty items that wear off pretty quickly. I've been forced to use google docs at work for three years now and it's the most miserable POS experience...it's all beta crap and I hate it.
Simple commands, like "set alarm.." are done locally. The same cannot be said for Siri commands. So, who's listening to who?
Its actually a feature that macs have had for many years. when turned on you just say computer and give it a command.
i can wait to how many pranks will be pulled on the users through this active voice feature!
And lets see the battery life!
And lets see the battery life!
Must say, this is really impressive, now this is competition....... u know if its the real thing.
Battery life is sick.
Battery life is sick.
while I assume the Nexus One was designed by Google (Google definitely had a hand in the process), it was actually made by HTC. Maybe that's what they thought of when they said the X was the first.

There's an option in settings ya know....just bring your iPhone up to your ear and start talking.
Without using your hands!?
Easy-peasey
Not saying I like Goigle Docs, but choose your words wisely. Siri's beta. Is that crap too?
I wonder what would happen, if someone else instead of you says "OK, Google now"... Should the phone get activated every single time? This is just a fail!
Most people seem to overlook the fact that the problem with Android is that on paper everything looks shiny, but when things come to user experience... that's hell on earth!
