Not terribly impressive. I wonder how realtime usage will be since all data processing is done in the "cloud".

- anigbrowl 15y agoI find Google's version of this pretty zippy and useful, so I'd expect it will be at least as good as that. It's usually a ~5 second turnaround, I'd estimate; I typically use it if I'm walking to catch a bus or suchlike and don't want to slow down or have an accident by typing at the same time.

Body Hi Alex, how are you [question mark]" and my Xoom will open the gmail app and fill out all the fields in about 3 or 4 seconds. I imagine Apple will be approximately the same.

- gks 15y agoA lot of the rumors seem to indicate that it's an iPhone 4S feature because of processing power requirements. It sounds as though there is a lot of processing happening on the device. It goes to the "cloud" for looking things up that aren't on the device itself. Wikipedia, Wolfram Alpha, Weather, etc.
- zyb09 15y agoIs it done in the cloud? Why would it require an iPhone 4S then?
