Godeater2112 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Jellybean? Apple? Siri? Why do these all sounds like names of Courtney Love's kids, or Bono's or Bob Geldoff's or all of the above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony R Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I don't believe that many people will use voice-activated searches in public. Just can't see it, they're as daft as bluetooth headsets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen of Megadon Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I think that "embarassment" will pass the more people use them. I'm interested in it and due for a new phone in a month, so I might give it a whirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever been in line at the grocery store in front of someone with a Bluetooth, but you don't know they have it on, and you think they're talking to you because they look RIGHT AT YOU while they're talking on this thing so you talk to them? But, they aren't talking to you. And, they look at you like you're an idiot? None of this is a good idea for humankind. I mean, who is the idiot in that scenario?
