and what were your impressions?


It was nice, but I'm not one of those "OMG Siri is the best thing ever" people. I'm the guy that upgraded to ICS... 6 months+ ago and I still unlock my phone, swipe to the other screen and tap the Camera icon instead of unlocking to the left. I have familiar usage patterns.

The extra info is "nice". That's how I would describe it. For those that like Siri, this is going to be up their alley. The natural voice recognition isn't as good as Siri's and there are some bits missing (I still freaking can't say "Navigate home" to get directions home, even though I can say "Navigate to McDonald's" and be launched into turn-by-turn).

I think in a few months or even when they release next month it will be capable of what Siri can do and will also have the intelligence to give you that info ahead of time.
