Yes, Siri seems to be really good. There are a bunch (yes, seriously, there were three) of Voice command applications shipped with my SII and they do the job, but not even 20% of what Siri could do. And I guess none of the android apps can actually 'talk' back.
Doing just one small thing, but that one thing will be main attraction - thats something apple is an expert of. Google, at one side got tremendous benefit of making Android open source, it attracted lot of developers. But even after getting good profits out of OEM sales, still google is too careless in furthering the platform. Google let that like linux, where only open source enthusiasts nurtured the OS further. Added to that, the bugs and fragmentation. becos of this, even if google wanted, it cannot implement an high CPU intensive AI app like Siri. That would need dual core CPU and google cannot force all android phone owners to go in ONLY for dual core.
Added to that, the support ecosystem for android devices is horrible. Even in US, android owners doesn't know whom to contact in case of technical problems - Google? or carrier? or OEM? In reality none of them offers good support. Android may reach only to tech youth and seniors wont even touch android. Now imagine how good the iPhone 3GS sales will be in US, there its free! only the talktime charges.
These are the ugly things about android.

Google has released Android 4.0. biggest highlight is the tablet and phone version of OS is fused into same. This means, hereafter, there is no difference btw fone and tablet apps, all are same. That is good news for tablet users.
Also Indic font support is added so that default android browser itself is enuf to view tamil webpages.
Also, 2D Hardware Acceleration is enabled so that browsing will be smooth. Even tamil font loading will be smooth.Quote:
Support for Indic fonts (Devanagari, Bengali, and Tamil, including the complex character support needed for combining glyphs) in WebView and the built-in Browser
That is only for viewing within browser. Typing, and displaying tamil outside browser etc, is still not enabled. But Hindi is added :evil: You can just swipe the space bar and the keypad changes to hindi.
But these benefits are ONLY for those who are gonna buy Android 4.0 phones/tablets :evil: Others have to wait for Cyanogenmod :wink:
