I’m both excited and slightly sad by Google’s announcement today. They’ve announced an app that will allow users to tell their phone what they want it to do, such as say “call” to make a phone call etc. It’s easy to understand why this is exciting.
So why am I slightly sad? Well, a few weeks ago, I had an idea for an app called “TellAndroid”, which was pretty much based around the same concept. I didn’t quite know how to go on about it so I put it on the back-burner. I’m sad because I didn’t get a chance to actually try and implement it. But overall, I’m happy that I had identified what Google thought of as the next step for Android, and of course, I’m excited because as a user, it’s a dream come true!
By the way, I’m kidding about the title of the post, I’m sure many, many programmers have had the same idea as this seems like the next obvious step in mobile technology
