    Here we go again another voice activation command device, come on how man times do companies try voice activation and they never work, yes they might work ok in quiet places but if im in a club pub or even just on a main rd there is no way voice activation will work, the technology just isnt up to scratch yet and i dnt think it ever will, to me its always a way to make money and ppl bein dumb as always fall for it every time.

                                Does the google voice require data connection to google, or can it do voice recognition by itself?
