LG's Q Voice coming to those who speak English, in first half of 2013

LG's Q Voice will be coming to English speaking locations in the first half of next year |
LG says Q Voice will be able to control device settings and "perform any function [with] the appropriate procedure". Like Siri, LG has developed Q Voice to make you laugh at answers to certain questions. Asked what it had for lunch, Q Voice responded, "I ate 220 volts. It was fresh and exciting".
The voice activated personal assistant field is getting crowded with competition now coming from Android manufacturers like Samsung and LG and Google itself. Google Now, available on Android 4.1, takes the technology a little higher with its intelligent push functionality. This allows the feature to automatically give you information like sports scores and traffic, without you requesting it at that moment. Google Now will know your favorite teams, your driving routes and more, all to be able to send you the same information you might get from a Siri or Q Voice if you had requested it. With Google Now, the difference is that you don't have to ask for it.

i am not sure why each manufacturer insists on having a home-grown system when the google one is already good… i feel it would be better to spend resources on updating devices so that they can have the latest products google already spent the time on and delivers for free

tell me about it... they have a clear winner on their hands and all they do is waste resources into building one when they
1. do no posses a search engine
2. no do posses a knowledge base
3. need to rely on 3rd party sites and sources
Google search and now should have been a call to all manufacturers to "stop playing search engine on android" ... and leave that to the heavy guns.
if they want to improve what Google has to offer then submit features and code Google could use to improve its offering instead of competing against it
on a side note... man that app looks ugly

ya i have it.. but not on my homepage because it looks ugly… i mean there is no hold-down homebutton like there is on iphone-- it needs an access from everywhere sort of button

well search was that button for ya.... but hen all of a sudden they decided hardware "soft keys" where a great idea.
you may wanna try wave launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobilemerit.wavelauncher&feature=related_apps#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLm1vYmlsZW1lcml0LndhdmVsYXVuY2hlciJd)

and ill try the launcher thanks

software keys will improve with time, for example search is swipe up from home button on the nexus(4.1) from any screen, I personally didn't like HTC's approach, they should have used on screen keys or a regular array instead of this new one.
I'd like some feedback regardless, it helps me recommend apps to people :D

wave launcher is good (i dont like the look too much but its extremely functional)-- i still would prefer stock though

yeah, app needs more polish in terms of its interface. I heard there is a ICS rewrite going on(nothing official yet), maybe it improves with an ICS look and feel. thanks for the feedback :D

Yup. LG has some pretty good hardware but OS updates takes forever. Ask the Optimus 2X who got official Gingerbread just last December. If they can out OS updates faster than the competition it sure is a selling point.
