Will Google voice activated maps/direction ever be available on the 3G/3Gs?

Will Google voice activated maps/direction ever be available on the 3G/3Gs?

Depends on what the contracts look like with Google and Verizon...
There is some exclusivity to the OS updates for Droid that Verizon will have first crack at...meaning that for example the 2.0 OS was first given to Verizon's Droid device and other Android phones still have 1.6 and 2.0 won't be available to the other devices until December...
Future OS updates will also be released on Verizon Android phones first before they goto other devices...
So...it could be possible that the new work done by Google for the Maps is a Verizon only perk from their new partnership...

  • Does anyone know if the iOS 7 update will ever be available on the iPod touch 4?

    Does anyone know if the iOS 7 update will ever be available on the iPod touch 4? And is iOS 7 even worth getting? I've read some articles about kind of getting iOS 7 by jailbreaking, etc but I don't want to do that. Some people are also saying that it will be available, is this true? I currently have iOS 6.1.5. Thanks.

    As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • Will Siri map/traffic features ever be available in the UK?

    I've got an iPhone 4S and was wondering whether anyone knew if map and traffic services would ever be available to use in the UK using Siri?
    Thanks

    No one here would know. All Apple has stated is that more countries will be added in 2012.

    Whenever Google decides to release it there. You could try asking them if they have a date. However, most companies don't give out that information ahead of time.

  • Can't active the Voice on Maps Directions on the 5...

    Hi,
    I recently purchased a T-Mobile Nokia Nuron.  I have used the GPS driving directions on the Ovi Maps twice, but each time I was unable to find out how to get the voice function to work.  Is there a way for the phone to speak out the directions (e.g., when to turn and the road/street name)?  
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
    Josh

    Oops!
    I just found out how to do it:

  • Will Amazon or vudu/flixster/ultraviolet ever be available on Apple TV?

    Will AppleTV ever get access to Amazon: Video on Demand, vudu, flixster, or ultraviolet?

    Why would apple not want to do something to help their customers view flixster/ultraviolet through their products.....even if it was just to install the flixster app on Apple TV that would be a start!  At the moment it is useless to me as I can't watch anything on flixster through my tv and have to resort in getting the original blue ray disk out! More and more dvd's are now only coming with ultraviolet which is no good for anyone who wants to manage and watch their films through the cloud on their tv !

  • User mapping error:  NO systems available for the selected principal

    I have a problem related to User mapping. After creating system alias, I mapped my j2ee_admin user successfully. Then I created 15 more users and when I click usermapping for all of them, it is not displaying the system alias. It is giving error "There are no systems available for user mapping for the selected principal"
    I cannot understand that when I click connection test, it is successful. The user mapping for j2ee_admin user is working. But when I try to do the same for other users, it is not displaying the system alias and giving me the above error.
    Can anybody guide me through the error. I have given "Everyone" role to all the 15 users. Any kind of help will be appreciated and points will be rewarded.

    Hello Abdul,
    This is a permission problem. Open the permission editor of the system and assign any role/group in the permission editor and select the checkbox corresponding to end-user.
    Now assign this role/group to all the users.
    It will solve ur problem.

  • Will we see any UK TV apps be available on the Apple TV?

    Was wondering this as Netflix etc are available.
    Any feedback would be most appreciated.

    No one has any idea what Apple's future plans are here, we're all users.
    Send feedback to Apple:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
    I think the likely issue is that to have localised TV options for all countries would be a big undertaking but it's becoming more of an expected requirement for media boxes.

  • When will avast! WebRep 6.0.1203 be available with the new update

  • How to sync contacts with Google Voice?

    Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to the Desktop Software and need a little help.  I have had my bb for over 2 years now, but I have never used the DT software for anything but a full back up do a full reset of my phone.
    So he is the situation.  I just signed up for a Google Voice account and replaced my sprint voicemail with the google voicemail.  I want to add all my bb contacts to my gmail/google account but I don't want to do it manually.  To sum things up, here are my questions (the ones that I think would solve my problem, but feel free to let me know if I'm venturing down the wrong path at anytime)
    1) Is there a way to set the DT software to use Gmail/google as the application for Address Book?  Right now I'm just using the Windows 7 Contacts.
    2) If I can't use Gmail directly, is there another application that the DT software can link to that will save all the contacts as CSV files, and then I import them to Gmail that way?  I believe Windows 7 saves them as a .contact file and Gmail says the format is invalid?
    3) How do I add applications to the DT software that are available to sync the organizer data with?  Currently the only options I have are Yahoo, Windows 7 Contacts, ASCII, and a 4th that I don't remember at the moment.
    The usb port on my phone is going bad, so I have to do a balancing act it the cable in order to get the computer to even recognize that the phone is connected, so I really would like to get all my contacts into my Gmail account in case I have to get a different type of phone.... My patience is running thin waiting on the new Bold LOL
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hey dcdarrencrosby,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    You will not be able to use the BlackBerry Desktop Software to synchronize your contacts from BB to Google.
    However if you have a Gmail account added on the BlackBerry, there is a wireless sync option that can bring your contacts over.

  • Using voice activation commands for Illustrator

    I was searching this forum to see if you can scroll (zoom) with the mouse wheel. I found a couple of short cuts that accomplishes the task (but not as easy as PS CS3 does).
    In PS CS3, I created a whole bunch of Dragon Naturally Speaking commands which, in effect, allowed me to speak the various PS commands (as opposed to clicking, dragging etc) with eh mouse and Wacom Pen.
    WITHOUT A DOUBT, this is the way to fly in PS. Speaking commands and having the program perform the function allows you to concentrate on the creation as opposed to what tool and when etc.
    Just being able (using the scrolling wheel example), to say "zoom" or "zoom out" instead of looking for the zoom icon clicking it and then clicking the work area helps tremendously.
    So, while looking for a way to Scroll in Illustrator, I got to thinking I will do the same thing for this application.
    Therefore, I was wondering if anyone had done the same thing here in Illustrator.
    I also posted this in the Windows forum.
    Anyway, just wondering.
    Bob

    Hi Jean,
    first, I had to let you know, and I am by no means connected in any form shape or manner with Dragon Naturally Speaking software.
    Second, I am actually dictating this message to you utilizing this voice activation software. I have been utilizing the Dragon for many years and this particular version happens to be one of the best that they have ever marketed.
    To give you an idea of the different commands that I utilized when creating very simple voice commands in the Dragon, here are some of the commands I created:
    Adjust color, adjust contrast, adjust curves, adjust hue saturation, adjust levels, auto color, (for the brushes if I wanted to increase them, bigger 1 bigger 2, bigger 5, bigger 7 (as you can see, it would increase the size of the brush dependent upon the number that followed the word bigger)), clone, copy, copy layer, crop, curves, cut, delete layer, deselect, duplicate layer, feather, erasure, eyedropper, etc., etc., etc)
    Once again, I am dictating this message and not typing it.
    Hopefully you can see we have a mouse in your hand, or a pen tablet and you are looking at the screen and reciting commands, and not having to look at the keyboard or the mouse or the walkom pen or what ever, and when you speak a command the application does exactly what you want, this allows you to concentrate on what you are trying to create as opposed to how to create it!
    This is the major differentiator between working manually (and trust me the pros on this forum can work very very fast manually), and working allowing your creativity to come to the front as opposed to your technical specific knowledge of the application and how to maneuver it.
    Anyway, I come out of many many years of information technology and this is probably one of the best combinations of applications that increases the efficiency of the individual working with said applications.
    I probably should go back and correct any recognition errors that the Dragon might have made (which were probably made because of my poor pronunciation were slurring of words), but I would rather not.
    It would be better for you to see (and I guess the other members of the form to see) the voice activation software can do for you.
    In closing, and once again I have to stress I am in no way affiliated with the Dragon, combining these two applications increases your productivity tenfold.
    Good luck, and I hope you shoulder feels better.
    Bob
    ps., ok so i lied, I corrected 5 small errors the Dragon made.... but you would have understood what I was trying to say anyway....

  • MMS, StraightTalk, Google Voice and Hangouts

    Hey all,
    I'm thinking of switching my wife's service from T-Mobile to the AT&T side of Straight Talk. I can't find good answers on this, so I'm hoping you can help.  I can't get her phone in front of me for a few days, otherwise I might be able to figure some of this out.
    Can she MMS with her iPhone 5s on Straight Talk? I saw something about switching APNs, but I'm not sure.
    Can she use MMS if she port my number to Google Voice?
    Is there a way to switch the default MMS app to some other program? Like Google Hangouts?
    Can you send a picture message through Hangouts (or another app) directly from the picture gallery?
    Thanks!

    KT is "officially" right but theoretically and technically wrong. There are literally 10's of thousands of people using the GSM based AT&T and or T-mobile iPhones with  Straight Talk ... It comes with a myriad of headaches and substanrial savings. Right now a single phone user saves more than $540 a year from going with AT&T direct ( Crazy isn't it)  Though the sim swap  / change your apn settings yourself method sort of works.(sometimes) .it is a PITA..
    If you use the official straight talk tfdata settings you will be able to make calls, use the internet, get e-mail and text single text to one person at a time all day long, day in day out...where the caveat to this lies is in MMS and sending and receiving pictures especially to non iPhone friends.
    If saving $540 a year makes it worth putting up with that inconvenience you're golden..
    We are spoiled ..If someone was to tell you here's a phone that will NOT send MMS or Pictures reliably but other than that you can do everything this other phone will do ..and BTW there is this nifty new thing called e-mail that you can send a message to as many people as you like and all the pictures you want instead of MMS'ing......$540 a year for the one that does not, $1080 for the one that does.. The Phone companies break it down by the month...big deal $45 vs $90 ...in 10 years that's $5,400 in savings!  With the money you save you could buy a new iPad every year...Crazy the savings to me makes it majorly worth using..
    2 years and holding with ST on an iPhone 3gs...

  • Google Voice vs Skype Need to Make Decsion ASAP

    I need to make a decsion on if I should use google voice for my new business or skype. The lack of ability to talk directly with a human about my questions is  also frustrating. i need to order business cards and finish print materials asap so someone please answer quickly. Why should I choose skype over Google Voice when one is free and the other isnt.

    Solo una cosa. GV è un numero MOBILE tipo mentre Skype-in è un numero di tipo fisso. Alcuni paesi non consentono l'ID chiamante per il tuo numero Skype-in - si richiede di portarlo a un numero di cellulare. Questo problema non è nel GV - ed è oggetto di molte discussioni denuncia su Skype-in Google "ID chiamante Skype-in" e troverete i thread.
    Courtesy of Google Translate:
    Just one thing. GV is a number such as Skype MOBILE-in is a number of fixed type. Some countries do not allow the caller ID for your Skype-in number - are required to take it to a mobile phone number.
