I’m SO tired of hearing this stupid argument so here we go…

Let’s say I leave my phone on a bus and am worried about people getting into my phone. Do you really think that some random guy just happens to have a picture of me with him?

Oh no! My friend does have a picture of me, he might get into my phone when I’m not looking and compromise it. Well I have news for you, get a better friend that doesn’t scare you about your own security.

Quite fancy giving this ago, although every attempt results in ”
I’m waiting for a network connection before trying this one” doh!

But…it’s a phone, how do you make calls if you don’t talk to the phone? Won’t the people on the other end of the line keep asking if you are there?

: When a true competitor (Apple) comes out with something initially, it’s at that point you need to play catch up. And when you play that game, it’s best not to just come out with a similar product, but something that “+1′s” the competition somehow. That is how you attract attention. Small players aren’t a major factor because their applications aren’t as powerful for one reason or another.

In this instance, Nuance released something notable.. but it doesn’t “one up” anyone. In fact, it seems according to this report that they need to beef up their servers a bit.

I think Google has something up their sleeve (while at the same time perfecting every angle). And you’re absolutely right, I’m sure it’ll have the “beta” tag attached to it. lol

Meanwhile, where *is* Google’s response? We’ve seen tiny companies churn out these apps one after another from nearly the time SIRI launched on the 4s yet Google has *nothing* to show yet? Come on Google! You put a “Beta” tag on everything anyway, push something out! It only took the one dev only 8 hours to put one together….

Well, that’s a bit narrow-minded.

This is super cool. I might have to give it a try after the servers calm down.
