Aryen, 03 Dec 2010without Andriod nokia cannot survive in the smartphone mark... moreAndroid will not get amazing battery life without looking at Symbian code. Symbian still beats Android in functionality. Android is just as complicated as Symbian, going through all those menus. What about that limited ROM for apps, good luck with 4 games installed. And FYI, Maemo is not dead, it is MeeGo. Get some clues you freaking fanboys.

                The 3 tabs read (from left to right): Relevant Information, Comments/Reviews, and Related Content.

                This is up to interpretation though, because you'll notice the first 2 characters in Relevant Information and in Related Content are the same. The first 2 characters = Relevant/Related (literally they say "having to do with"). Given the context though, I'm fairly sure they say what I stated above.

                Just giving my input as I can read/speak both English and Chinese fluently lol.

                                    The guy was talking about a new app. It's a google voice search that allows you to search google by just saying what you're looking for. If you're looking for a specific restaurant, you speak it to the phone and the app will google search it for you.

                                      1:10
                                      "I am now going to show you how to use google's voice search.
                                      First, click on this voice search icon.

                                      For example, if I wanted to search for pictures of 'Tsim-Sing Harbor',

                                      I will just say to the phone 'Tsim Sha Tsui, Teen Sing Ma Tau, Xian Peen' (Location, Name of Harbor, Picture)

                                      Google will then analyze my voice, and show me the search results. Then without the clumsiness of handwriting or typing, I can still find what I'm looking for.

                                      1:42
                                      Lets try again and search for maps of Tung Lo Wan.

                                      "Hong Kong, Tung Lo Wan, Dai Tou" (City, District, Map)

                                      Lets see what kind of results we get.

                                      1:52
                                      We can also use both Chinese and English in the search together.

                                      For example if I wanted to look for food in IFC building, I can say...

                                      "IFC, Tsan Tang" (IFC, Restaurants)

                                      We will still get results.

                                      2:11
                                      Also, we can also search for news topics. For example.

                                      "blah blah blah, News"

                                      And we can still find it. We can also say,

                                      "16 pounds is equal to how many Kilgrams."

                                      Look at the results.

                                      2:35
                                      Google's Voice search demonstration is already finished. Lets all come and try!
