In our last post, we showed you guys a video of 47 questions you can ask Google’s Voice Search function in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (otherwise known as Google Now ) to get impressive results. In case you missed it, at the very end of the vid, we were treated to a rather awesome display of barrel rolling maneuvers when the voice search assistant was asked to, “Do a barrel roll.” The results were nothing short of amazing. Yup. I had to give this a go on my Galaxy Nexus and even made a quick video showcasing arguably the coolest feature to ever hit smartphones… barrel rolls. enjoy.
Magical!
DOU EY BAEL ROUL!
bad ass!!
Your laugh was the best part lmao.
NO WAY >.> Google NOW just got so much cooler
It’s always nice to see developer have a sense of humor.
No offense but how many times can you possibly say “um” in a single video??
No offense but……….. appox 11 times (I counted)
It more or less works with the Android 4.0.x voice search too… The browser launches, goes to a Google search results page which then does the barrel roll, but not nearly as smoothly as on Jellybean.
NOTHING is as smooth as Butter.. O_o
Sadly, I won’t be finding out until JB ships for my VZW GNex… I’m praying that update hits before the end of the year… >.>
Hopefully it wont take that long. Let’s hope Verizon makes it a huge priority since it’s a semi-major release :)
Why not just try the dev preview? It’s surprisingly stable and has most of the important new features, if not, all the new features.
In May I tried first tried to unlock my phone, then tried to root it… Nothing worked… The “Galaxy Nexus Toolkit” utterly failed for me and I still don’t have my phone back to the way it was. (Even restoring the backups I did before doing a factory reset failed.) I gave up because I need my phone to work more than I need it unlocked or rooted.
That’s a shame. Here’s hoping you’re one of the first to receive the official release of Jelly Bean when the OTA rolls out.
Hasn’t it been there since last year at Google.com ?
But yeah, it’s nice to command it by voice. :-)
Chris, your child-like sense of humor amuses me.
