Checkout speakoit in the market...

Try iris from the market. It is free, and i think you will like it, but i believe it is still in alpha.
Hope this helps!

vlingo
free in the app store...works pretty good too

When i read your title, i thought you have some idea about Siri like android apps for my Desire Z
...

Vlingo is the best imo. Iris is barely halfbaked

Android's had a Siri-like app since the G1 on Day One. It's called "Google Search." :3

Try Alice. Its pretty early in development but promising.

I know right! Amazing how apple blows something so rudamentary and "done before" way out of proportion and then claims others stole the idea from them...I predict 2012 will not bode well for apple...and google has something up its sleeve for 2012..

"Dragon Go" app, if you're rooted and using "swype" it automatically shows it under the "other apps" section in the latest ota from Nuance(company that bought/owns swype). FYI, Nuance & "Dragon" are the developers of "Dragon Naturally Speaking" software, the #1 dictation software on the market today-and are also the company Apple contracted to help build "Siri" for them(so I'm told-have not confirmed personally though). They're software is amazing on PC, phone is no different-haven't found out if dragon dictation can be done through Dragon Go to PC yet though...

Try Alicoid. It is as close as you can get by now.
Device: HTC Desire Z
Rom: Virtuous Quattro RC3
Clockspeed: 1.2 gHz
S-on

try Assistant in the market

You want Evi, it is very similar to siri

Iris is like an exact clone, but I think it's still in beta and takes forever to respond.

I use Skyvi, it's decent you can download different voices.

huh, theres any app for german users ?

Browser on One X

Just looking to see what people are using for their internet browsers on the One X... at the minute im just using the stock but looking to change.

Had artefacts on screen with stock so gone back to trusty Dolphin HD, which is much more fully featured anyway

Chrome beta.
Used to use Opera a lot.
Maxthon is supposed to be good, but I hated it. Apparently flash works though.

Chrome Beta
Although scrolling can lag a bit on graphic heavy pages (is everyone having this problem?) compared to the stock browser, I actually prefer the slowness/responsiveness of the scrolling if that makes sense. Dare I say similar to the type of scrolling on an iPhone. Also love the pretty UI and being able to sync open tabs/bookmarks with the PC!
Downsides are the lag, no flash! and embedded youtube videos don't work even as links.

Only used the stock browser and chrome beta on my one X. On my desire I used stock, dolphin and sky fire.
Chrome beta is the best browser I have ever used on any mobile device, highly recommended!

Ics browser+ but I intend to try out chrome too.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I used the stock browser for 5 minutes before getting frustrated with activating the menu.
A lot of people seemed to recommend Dolphin HD so I downloaded it and have to say it's pretty good. Fast, easy to switch tabs etc. Nice plug-in to switch between Desktop and mobile mode too.

Always used dolphin on my desire HD but decided to give the stock browser ago on my HOX,try as I might I can't find out save my bookmarks into separate folded like on dolphin can in be done?

Is that activating menu using top right button, remapped multitasking button, or quick controls?

Play Magazines Out of Focus

Has anyone else experienced an out of focus play magazines? Each new page is a bit blurry until you tap on the page, which then brings just that page into focus.

Nope. Magazines look just fine here.
Have you downloaded the mags or are you streaming ? And if streaming you're doing it via 3G or Wi-Fi ?

Restart the nexus. I had that sort of problem and a reboot fixed it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I had/have the same issue. Got the solution on another post, there's a drop down at the top (tap near top once you open magazine) that puts it into "view text" mode and gets much crisper.

I just noticed it too. Not a big deal since you just have to tap on the page, but I wonder if its all of them or just some of them have the issue? Im not even sure if my magazines are downloaded or not from the play store, or if its just streaming like a video, Ill have to check...
Edit: actually mine werent downloaded, but it does the same thing anyway. It doesnt do it with books though

I too have focus problems
The magazines definitely have a "focus" bug. You actually need to tap twice -- once to render the image so it's legible and again so the page list at the bottom disappears. It quickly gets annoying and I'm surprised more people haven't noticed this. I contacted Google about it but I received a cut-n-paste response on how to operate the reader. It's definitely a software bug that can easily be remedied.

Just my opinion, but for me a 7 inch tablet is too small for magazines. If you fit one page, the text is too small to read.
Absolutely perfect for books.
Judging from the sample magazines, they are wall - to - wall ads anyway.
Have not tried comics - how do they look?

Its thankfully only magazines on the Google play app, if you try Zinio it is fine. I wish they would just update the app and do whatever Zinio did to make it fine

Facebook on nexus 7

As today Facebook app got a new update but I still feel that it's not quite good enough because of very slow speed, old UX& ... (as the app always was)
I'd like to know which app you use for Facebook recently.
I've tried Scope beta for few weeks, love the idea but still buggy and slow.
Thanks for sharing guys!

I think the Facebook app is just fine.

Same.. I haven't had an issue with it for ages.. It does what it's supposed to do.

I just go to facebook.com, looks just like PC version that way.

Facebook app is fine its smooth and fast no lag for me whatsoever

It takes 10-20 seconds of a black screen before it loads, but after that it works fine.
The problem i have is with its widget, i sometimes get a blank widget or it doesnt update.
Anyone with those issues??

I use flipboard for facebook, I really like the magazine format.

What's up with the Facebook website and Android? The input fields don't allow your dictionary to work and gets all screwy trying to type and backspace. It does this on any browser I've tried.
I just use Android Pro Widgets to use the Facebook and Twitter widgets for feeds, and click through to Facebook occasionally for notifications and IMs. I don't need instant notification about anything related to Facebook.

No issues here with the Facebook app. Loads in less than 2 seconds. Now on my phones it is a different story. They haven't ran it right in a year or so.

No problems here, more speed is needed with all apps to support Nexus 7 Quadcore CPU

There is a reason Facebook is working on a native app for Android and already did for iOS. Our current app is an HTML5 based slow piece of trash..,

I deleted facebook app ,using default cm10 browser is much faster..on a 20mbt internet i wait for 4-5 seconds and more for a 50kb picture to show,that app after 1000 updates is still bad joke.I left app only on my phone because of push notificafions but i dont use it.

Friend caster is pretty nice. Dual panel layout and everything. One problem with the official Facebook app is that it took so long for it to start up like 20 seconds for a black screen then another ten on the splash screen. Completely ridiculous. I heard they forced their employees to use android phones instead of I phones just to make them feel the crap they made for android.
