voice commands

[sharpz]

hey everyone,

I've been reading a lot on google news about how a big part of the 2.2 update was the ability to do voice commands. Well i always knew you could search using voice by just clicking the voice button the google search widget.

But what exactly did they add to the 2.2 update that makes it better? What is now added to the voice commands, can someone give me some examples?

Make sure you go to the market and get the Voice Search app so you can have access to the new commands. The "set alarm at ...." command is the only one that isnt finished yet i believe.

I would really like to see them add the ability to create new voice commands... Kinda like with some of the PC programs where you can program the sound of your voice to launch apps and perform tasks...
