Vlingo vs Edwin

I'm not sure if you guys got the update to Vlingo with the In-Car feature (I believe it's for Sprint phones only...which is odd), but.....HOLY CRAP!! Talk about cool!! It's a total hands free solution while driving, and deadly accurate!

The coolest thing is not only does it perform text/call/navigation/etc tasks, but you can actually ask it a question and it will speak the response. I mean, you can ask it ANYTHING! I tried it out a bit in the house and it spit an answer out to everything I asked it.

I tried stuff like, "Who won the 2005 world series?", "What number did Jordan wear?", "Who is the star of (name a TV show)?" and it answers. Pretty rad!

I have Vlingo on my Ally and it has In Car beta.

I agree that it's accruate. I was heading to a doctor's office but couldn't remember the street address. I told it to navigate to the doctor's office with including the city. It looked in Google and then gave me the information.

It sent me on a longer route. I knew a short cut and it changed my route based on the fact that I took a different street.
