The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy just got even better!

Just tried to update and after syncing my playlists last night it says I have no room, even if I delete a load of apps I have no room, I have no photos to delete to make space either. Although oddly I can seemingly take a whole load of photos and it will find space. Oh well, I'll have to wait until when I get home.

nice...

Google is more and more impressive... Still a bit scary, but impressive.

I thought that up here we had the same apps at the same time as down south but it does not appear so. Asof 9h20 eastern time, we are still missing the new version of Google Mobile App.

What the fsuk do you mean by 'finally'? You sound like those dumbasses who pump everything they publish until they are screaming at each other like entitlement gen babies.

Apple has a process. That process keeps that crybabyware out of the Apps Store. They check carefully. They said they would publish it Monday, they published it Monday.

Grow the fsuk up.

Impressive, indeed. As MDN said, this is clearly the show-off app for the iPhone. One needs to use a lot of imagination in order to come up with all the creative uses of this application, but surely it has enormous potential. Motion sensor activation is really a nice touch, although it won't do much for those who use headset to talk on the iPhone (it is an iPod, after all).

Arguments in favour of switching to the iPhone keep piling up. By the time the current AT↦T contract expires, I'm sure there'll be even more. May can't come soon enough...

I just tried it. Man this is great. I said: Fourier Analysis. It got it right the first time.

Hands down the best app on mu iPhone, free or paid.

Props to Google for using a gay actor, doing a search in San Francisco, with pictures of unicorns on his iPhone... Classic..

xx,

They said they'd publish the iPhone App Notificaion service in September. It's juuuuuust past mid-November now. How's that process workin'?

So how do you search a contact? Everytime I say a name it does a web search.

That's sarcasm, right?

My web search engine doesn't search my contacts!

Now why can't I speak into my iMac speaker and do the same thing?

Terrible voice recognition shame on you Google this app sucks. I tried movie theaters in my area I got back L.A go figure. Every search I did so far none worked. I live in the Atlantic City area, I tried searching for the nearest casino the app kicked back soccer. Before the voice recognition I gave the app 4 stars now it's worthless. Google you dropped the ball on this one, sorry.

iPod Touch First Generation - does the voice recognition work with the first generation iPod Touch?

Silver Surfer, run through your iPhone settings. I'm guessing you'll see exactly why it's not pulling up theaters in your location. Maybe you'll see some other things while you're there.

Based on others' early experience, it's clear that Google did not "drop the ball." So take another run at this one.

I have a 2nd gen Touch and a headphone/mic but it doesn't recognize there's a mic there and I can only query via keyboard.

Anyone else with a Touch have it working?

@ gudmaps

No, this only works (in theory) with 2nd gen Touches.
