iphone-app_pPsI6_52

Voice recognition functionality is no new thing for phone users, but if it’s about browsing Google on your iPhone through voice commands then it’s certainly a groundbreaking technology. Yes! The tempting application is coming from Google as a free application for only iPhone users - the bad part of the story. The handsfree application allows iPhone users to name a destination or a question and the screen will display an answer in few seconds. What the app does is record your voice, upload it to a Google server via data communication, process it, and then appear with certain results. As yet, the results delivered by the app aren’t quite reliable though, but soon, Google will hone its searching skills.

Myvu makes Crystal video eyewear iPhone compatible


It was inevitable as the Myvu Crystal personal media viewer was already iPod compatible including Microsoft’s Zune and some mobile phones like the Nokia N95. Now expanding its compatibility horizon, Apple has announced that the device works fine with the iPhone as well. All you need is burn your extra $24.99 to buy a cable from Myvu’s online store that makes two separate devices work together in a harmonic manner. The video eyewear delivers VGA resolution which is presently Myvu’s best quality. Not only that, the eyewear comes bundled with a pair of noise-cancelling ear buds for a better video viewing experience on the go. Fully charged built-in rechargeable battery delivers a non-stop cinematic experience for 4 hours. Priced at $299.95, the eyewear is worth its price as it is also compatible with few videogame consoles. Hence, gaming geeks who are anticipating successors of Xbox360/PS3, can spare their few hundred for the looming console by not investing on an HDTV [provided, Myvu Crystal is compatible with Xbox360/PS3 - II].
