I think these are great times to be a gadget consumer. Apple made the Siri interface 'mainstream', and Google is great at throwing brainpower at their own version of the interface. (I hope I'm not mistaken that Apple integrated the 'vertical list' interface first.) The fact that JB's dictation works offline whereas Siri needs a connection is the icing on the cake.
Same for the race to having better maps or the better browser.
- greggman 14y agoWhat's the "vertical list" interface? Android had lists of results on voice search for while. Is this what you mean? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L_IhqGcRM8#t=8m36s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L_IhqGcRM8#t=8m36s Here's the navigate by voice from nearly 4 years ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLXZ5BHeDFg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLXZ5BHeDFg Here's the original voice actions video by Google from 2 years ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGbYVvU0Z5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGbYVvU0Z5 Siri was introed 1 year ago? I agree though, it's a great time to be a gadget consumer. I love Siri's conversational style. It actually doesn't seem too far off before I can actually start having a conversation with a computer though something like Siri which is both awesome and terrifying at the same time.
- gurkendoktor 14y agoI meant that the interaction with Siri looks basically like a chatlog (conversational). Here's what I misunderstood - I thought Jelly Bean was the same, but he would always just tap away the last item in the video so we don't see it. Maybe there is no scrollable backlog in Jelly Bean.
