Google showing off Galaxy next to N1 and Droid...

[jthreads]

Hi there,
Goole is showing off in its Android Google webpage 3 phones and the Galaxy is there

Google for Android

 

[mogden]

...and what's this 'speak now' bit and the microphone on google search?!

Is that a feature of Android 2.x? On a Galaxy?

 

[Rastaman-FB]

no its the voice search plugin you can get from the market

??? That feature came built into my HTC Hero. Hold the magnifying glass down for a few seconds.

LOL!

I wonder if Google is aware of something we aren't about Galaxy... )

A quote from the link above:

Android-powered phones such as the Nexus One and Droid by Motorola come with Google applications pre-installed.

Now a word about Galaxy )

Well I can't find it! Mind you can't find beautiful widgets either. I'm on UK IK4. Any ideas?

 

[informale]

Yep, no Voice Search in the Market on IK5 either. Although I remember it was available sometime in October-November... Maybe Google made it 1.6+ only.

well there is a guy who is making a project for the ADC2 (android developers challenge 2) and he seems to have the apk linked
Eclosion For Android
it works on cupcake
his program looks interesting, might be goon on official release

eitherway voice search is there

 

[Andronix]

it crashes on musty build :/

 

[briany]

i imagine the galaxy is shown because it's one of the android phones that come fully loaded with Gapps.

 

[Rastaman-FB]

it crashes on musty build :/

it will do

its a cupcake tool

youll need someone to pull the apk from the n1

 

[martino]

Some advertisement will never be bad for the Galaxy... Although while in my subjective opinion it looks better than the other two devices, I still envy their screens and OS versions...

<--- thinking of getting the Nexus One

I think they've put one phone from every major manufacturer that has released android devices

 

[informale]

I wouldn't call Samsung a major manufacturer of Android phones... So far it's a disgrace.

Oh, sorry, you meant just a "major manufacturer", without "of Android phones". But nonetheless )))

 

[Kouske]

Software wise it's a disgrace, but hardware wise it's a pretty damn good phone if you ask me. Build quality, AMOLED screen, good camera etc etc. No arguing about Samsungs bad support is a big downside but there are bright sides to the phone too.

Thanks Rasta! Again!

 

[kam187]

That pic looks like an afterthought to me. Still cant hurt!

 

[lentils]

I'm on Ik4... no voice search available. I would love to have this function.. I used to have it until I flashed from my original fw ver. Unluckily I have not been able to find and re-install it.

there was a link above to get voice search:
http://www.eclosion-android.com and look for voice search

2 Rastaman-FB, no problem.

 

[Rastaman-FB]

i have to edit your post Informale the reason i didnt link it the way you did is because its a google app and i dont want to have AF responsible for distributing it against googles wishes
linking to a project that has it on is fine though as hes distibuting it

 

[Mastermind278]

Hey Guys,

When I ported over the Galaxy firmware I lost the voice search (I really like it, helpful to search while moving and not wanting to type). I then installed it on the Behold with the Galaxy firmware and it works. Just removed the Search Widget and then make the search widget again and it will show up on the widget. Thanks!

Nexus one is old news Lenovo LePhone looks like android next flagship device

Fancy stuff... but we all know what is the most important feature in an Android phone - bloody support and updates )

Oh, but the keyboard accessory is a killer! Awesome!
