Confirmed, just tried it on my Nexus 7 and GS3 and it does indeed praise the ipad!

It's not like anyone uses Google now and would use it anyway, between the horrible voice synth and the terrible voice recognition. but then I don't know if siri is any better.

You think those are bad? Try the WP version of voice recognition, oh my god. It'll tell you everything BUT the thing you asked for.

Siri was better before Apple took over.

i think if you have it set properly the voice synth sounds like a real person compared to Siri, I also do not have any issues with the voice recognition. Then again i find the tool very useless for things like that and mainly use it for traffic, weather, and shipped packages.

sounds like an easter egg thing to me, or some kind of joke put in by a developer o.o why is everyone assuming it's a glitch?

Have used GN on several devices and know people who use it as well. No problem with voice recognition unless I don't speak clearly. I use GN a few times per day.

GN voice does sound better than siri. I used GN basically the same stuff.

Mine works great.

when tried the voice rec on my WP7 Trophy worked great, at least compared to GN, which despite saying it supports the language can't find a street name to save it's life. as for the actual now features. I went to a meeting in a city ~3 hours away, I left like 3,5-4 hours early for the meeting, driving there, the first thing GN told me about the meeting was later I did a bit of shopping and was in the hotel where we had the meeting and some 20-30 minutes before the meeting it told me I had to leave if I was going to make the meeting, in the hotel I was already in...

and well firstly, it never warned me when it would actually have been important which was before I left, secondly, it seems absolutely pointless as I would never trust an automated assistant like that to remind me to get up, or leave to make it on time or to even warn me of a meeting where I am, and with good reason it seems. better to just set your own alarms on the calendar.

Um.. Google Now's voice recognition and voice synth is at least a thousand times better than SIRI's... Were you using actual Google Now, or that dreadful clone of Samsungs? Because THAT one DOES suck balls.

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! How funny! Just tried it on my SGS, and it works!

don't have a samsung so I don't buy crap phones with the worst optimized software/OS that requires you to use twice as powerful hardware to get android to run as good as a properly optimized software from a proper manufacturer.
