It is nice to see a real description, unedited. After all, you demonstrated how quick and easy it is to figure something out that you have not seen before.
Thanks again.
Android is great.
(Verizon is trying to remove the NFC software from the phone, that’s why they are delayed. Verizon, you disgust me, with your big company tactics to limit peoples options.)

If anything, the icons look very webos’ish which makes sense with Mattias Duarte running the show on user experience. I agree that they should blow up the dictated text and make the mic less intrusive but I wouldn’t call that a big deal.

Is it still talking to Google Servers? Or is it all being done on-device now? I’m curious…

Thank you.

Come on man. Tacky.

Good job Google!

damn…these buggers need better people as far as UI experience is concerned. bah.
