My thoughts exactly. They must have been talking 2 years 1960's time, as that's about 8 hours now.

Check Vlingo though, its a lot more polished and actually has better features than Siri, like completely hands free car mode. Try talking to Siri with out first pressing the listen button, with Vlingo Car Mode you say 'Hey, Vlingo', sorry no witty . Siri is the one that needs to catch up.

Ever heard of Vlingo, Speaktoit, Google Voice Actions? LoL, all been out for a while now, do exactly what Siri do in different ways.

Shoot, Iris, a Siri clone, was created in 8 hours!! Of course not all the functionality of Siri, but 8 hours is a lot shorter than 2 years.

Oops, forgot to login. But I do have to mention they could come up with a better name or let me name my device, saying 'Hey, Vlingo' isn't necc the easiest. I'm not even sure if I'm saying it right, the first few times it didn't even listen. Either it got used to me, or I somehow am pronouncing it correctly now with out noticing.

Put the cops through the same legal system everyone goes through. That way the cops have incentive to make the process as fair as possible.

Stop making sense, please.

Thank you.

Wait till you get Froyo! Each app has an auto update check box so you don't have to manually update the ones you select. Pretty cool and fact that its an OPTION makes it that much better.

Every couple of months with a new official release or Cyanogen mod its like getting a brand new phone all over again.

Thank you for clearing that up for him.

You can not only take a Prius and put Google Ads on it, but you can track it, add and remove stuff with out Toyota giving a shit. Very similar to the Google Nexus one, you can root the phone with no hack or anything special, Google does not give a shit what you do to it after you bought it (just don't expect to return a rooted device just like you wouldn't expect to return a Toyota after you put some after market performance parts.) Apple on the other hand, even though you forked over your $199+ for some reason does give a shit and might even brick your phone if you don't play by their rules. I understand that because of carriers some Android based devices are more "locked" down, but as you can see when Google has the choice (Nexus One or G1 Dev Phone) they kind of give the user the benefit of the doubt. There is even Android phones (of course on ATT) that have Yahoo as the default search and locked down some features.

That or a doc with a full keyboard, mouse & monitor. Been thinking about the same thing! Could even be wireless Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.. just plugin for monitor (which could maybe be wireless as well) and charge... Switches to 'Desktop Dock' kind of how u got the car and clock docks on there now.
