Dammit Google, this is awesome, and genius, and pretty much obsoletes Siri, but why didn't you push this in the Android Google search app? I really want Now on my phone since it's awesome on my tablet, but I can't get Jellybean onto it.
- DigitalJack 14y agoI don't have Siri on my iphone (a 4), but I always thought the benefit was from composing text messages and such... This is just search isn't it?
- mcintyre1994 14y agoI believe on an Android phone it integrates all Google voice actions (I may be being unfair to say it obsoletes Siri for iOS as some actions may be unavailable for iOS), which include texting/calling etc. It's not just for searching though, no. It basically acts like Siri, in that it gathers cards of information, but it does that without you asking using a wealth of data Google hold.
- DigitalJack 14y agoRight, but in the context here, on iOS, it's just search as far as I can tell.
- stonemetal 14y agoIt isn't just search it is also calender reminders, location based recommendations. It really tries to be a personal assistant the way siri does.
- jes5199 14y agoHmm. I only use Siri to play music by name.
- tomkarlo 14y agoNo, it used to be just search. Now it's a whole integrated service of helpful information on a local/personalized basis (RTFA).
