If Google Now is anything like Google Search, Google Maps and Google Navigation on Android then it will be a laughable joke for anyone outside of the USA.
Regardless of setting your location current Google apps insist on showing USA petrol stations, USA towns, USA shops etc etc etc
... and then asking if I want to walk or drive there.
I cringe just thinking of the pain of using Google Now.
Google certainly have some issues with the concept of selling a product to the World. Surely some of their developers think that USA is the World.
Why should I have to type my country name in almost every search.
Also if it is as out of date as Google Maps (I can see a 60 year old town that no longer exists, it's forest) then what use will the answers be.
What about finding a service station and it tells me just 6 and they are over 100kms away. What about the 2 I see down the street.
Surely Google Now won't be useful (unless you live in the USA)

lash will be missed if you like desktop style web browsing. Html5 is still far behind in many sites, also the galaxy s3 runs flash (even 1080) much better/faster than it does html5. Your mileage with html5 will vary greatly depending on the browser you're using where flash was fully supported on every major browser. Html5 also takes longer to begin playing even on a fast WiFi connection on a fast device. Desktops will continue to mainline flash and devs will continue to create with it.. You will inevitably miss out, at least for the next couple years.

You can have use of hidden menu options with the Office button that's located beside the ribbon tabs. Removing or adding commands on any tab is quite easy. The buttons which you don want to be displayed under the Home tab can be taken off so that you have the ability to give more space on the other buttons. They're all possible using the Microsoft 2010.Furthermore, creating a new tab because of the commands that you'd usually require is also possible on the job office 2010 activation key. Working is made easy with the addition of titles and icons in the new tab. You additionally have the new dialog Options menu inside Microsoft activate office 2010 with all the current advanced configuration options.

AnonD-70501, 08 Sep 2012hi guys
i have some questions please and i need alittle he... moreYou're very fortunate not to have any problems with ICS. I know a lot haven't, however just as many have (I for one).
There are a number of fundamental problems with ICS. One fact that shows this is that over 12 months on it's still not been rolled out by all manufacturers, many had promised the update was coming since last year.
JB is well worth the upgrade. Manufacturers are falling over themselves to get it out to their devices shows they are happy with it. If you have a good experience with ICS, then it'll only get better with JB. Just wait for the official release.
Google Now leaves S Voice behind. It does everything S Voice does and more, it's faster, far more accurate speech recognition, can understand natural speech. It learns from you over time so and will start to anticipate some requests & provide information before you ask - say you follow a sports team and regulatly ask for game results, it will learn this and automatically offer you results (on google cards)whenever they play.
JB is faster in smoother, far less lag (but still some). If your getting good results with ICS this won't be dramatically noticeable though, but you will find overall that everything feels that much snappier.
Adobe has stopped supporting Android, not google. It's being replaced by HTML5, but will take a while till everyone uses it. If you have Adobe Flash loaded now it will still work when you upgrade to JB via Kies.

mmm, 07 Sep 2012new jelly bean is useless if they not improve on camera sec... moreIt's unthinkable for anyone still claim S2 camera was better than S3.
I know it is sad and cruel for any old S2 users need to and have to admit that S3 camera beat S2 camera hand down in all aspects. It is a true fact, even if all of you choosed not to believed it. I know where all old S2 users coming from.

The resizing option for the popup video player as well as the brightness slider in the notification bar are already part of the latest 4.0 patch.

I just wonder why do you try to pich zoom the expandable notification... It's not supposed to be a pinch gesture to expand or to close the notification, but a 2 finger swipe. that's why you had to try it twice to get it to work. If you'll do a 2 finger swipe down (to expand) or up (to close) it will work perfectly.

hi guys
i have some questions please and i need alittle help
i'm sgs3 ice cream sandwich user
i have no problem with this android version yet
but do you advice me to update it to jelly bean or better stick to ice cream sandwich
also what's the difference between google now and s voice
is it a completely new application or an update to s voice (i loved my s voice and i'm afraid it's not included in jelly bean)
does the phone lag in jelly bean or it's now notably faster and smoother
and why google dispensed with adobe flash player
it's really pretty essential (if anybody knows the reason anyway)
appreciate your help

I wonder if the HTC One X would be able to take the competition once Samsung releases Jelly Bean for the S3. I have a One X right now, running ViperX 2.1.0 ROM and the NCX 0.99a kernel and I overclocked the clock speed from the set 1.2 GHz in the Kernel to 1.5 GHz. At Quadrant 1.2 GHz scored around 5200. While at 1.5 GHz it was scoring 6400+. Also combined with awesome battery life. Samsung won't disappoint their customers by making a ROM that doesn't make any improvements, so it would probably score 6000+ and beat my One X.

Now it's almost non-existent.

Samsung is a great provider of hardware. One just cant help but be of the view the SIII is the last of its breed given WP8 is likely to be a game changer in the mobile industry. From what I can see so far, I am glad to wait and see more of WP8. I will still buy a WP8 Samsung device but certainly not Android for me, JB or no JB.
