One of the main features of iPhone 3G S is called Voice Control, which allows you to place a call or play music just by using voice commands. It’s not part of the iPhone OS 3.0 as everyone presumed. The reason behind this can be attributed to the faster processor and larger amount of RAM in iPhone 3G S, which makes it more suitable for an intensive task such as Voice Control. Even the current generation iPod Touch, which has a support for a mic which you can Skype with, doesn’t support this feature. The iPod Touch is a bit faster in performance than the iPhone 3G, so Voice Command could be touted as a main selling point to give users a reason to upgrade to the iPhone 3G S.
So, if after upgrading your current iPhone to OS 3.0, you find this feature to be missing, now you know why it’s not there in the first place at all.
what is voice control for? Everytime Im playing my music from my iphone, voice control takes over and interferes? What do i need to do so this stops happening.. Its annoying and once it starts it keeps beenping.. HELP me..
Back in the early 90s I had a Windows 3.1 PC 486/33mhz with 4MB ram and a Soundblaster 16 that came with speech recognition program. It worked FLAULESSLY and let me run commands, make shortcuts, even dial numbers with netspeaks legendary webphone. that was almost 20 years ago!!! So please Apple, do not insult our intelligence that you could use a software update. I had all the iphones so far, the original 2.0, the 3G (jailbroken) and now the GS. I see very (if any) differencies in the 2 latest. the only thing that found convenient was the camera / picture integration and the editing video functionality although its crippled. The compass SUCKS! totally useless. Battery life is the same junk. For those of you who are seriously thinking of buying the GS, stick to the 3G and jailbreak the crap out of it. I speak from experience.
The basic fact is that the iphone 3G is quite capable of instituting the SOFTWARE controlled voice command available in the 3GS, as well as the video recording abilities.. However apple wishes you to upgrade to a shiny new EXPENSIVE 3GS!! and if they backpedal now and allow it in a newer firmware update then they are just going to cop more flack for lying in the first place lol. My old Nokia N90 had voice dialing and even minor application support (calculator, clock etc) at the press of a button on the side, don’t tell me the iphone 3G can’t process it how dumb do you really think we are steveo ;)
On another point all together, I do not understand why there has now technically been 4 generations of iphones and they still haven’t put a low resolution camera in the front side of the phone to allow video calls!! I mean come on apple as if that wasn’t something you SHOULD have done with the release of the 3GS…
