We non-Jelly Bean plebeians have been envious of those with access to Android 4.1 for some timenow, and a recent video from JLishere provides yet another reason to be jealous. The video, a demo of the much-anticipated Google Now, shows off just how accurate JB's voice recognition can be - in fact, it was able to pick up on the subtle differences between words like 'Worcester' and 'Wooster.' It also exemplifies the impressive number of commands Now (in cooperation with theKnowledge Graph) can register - from "call the Drake Hotel" to "do a barrel roll."
Enough balderdash, though - watch the 47-question demo for yourself:
One last note: as JLishere notes in the video description, the demo was performed on an early buildof Jelly Bean - this, in other words, should be considered a beta feature that will only get better with time. If that doesn't leave you excited about Android's future, I don't know what will.

Wow. Not only is Google Now spot on, it destroys Siri.

Now it's Google that's vastly improved upon something.

Not only has this only benefit of the iPhone 4S over the iPhone become redundant, the S3's S Voice just got ****ed on by Google Now as well.

Looks as if GN is a serious competitor to Siri. And that can only mean one thing: A fresh round of iLawsuits and angry iFans.

*Waits for Apple lawsuit* :whistle:

Looks great, to bad my Evo 3D will never see Jellybean. ICS is buggy as hell thanks to htc not releasing source so devs can get us a stable build of AOSP ICS.

Truly impressive. The future is here. Can you imagine how well this will translate to Glass.
