Cool will check it out, did you get my message on the other tsg show mike?

[TechGuy]

Sure did! We did a review on Android software versions (Droid vs. Nexus) a few weeks back, but I'll keep it in mind for future episodes!

[new tech guy]

Ok . I thought maybe if you wanted to do a head to head with maybe what you have, the palm pre. I also noted today in a pcworld magazine i just got that the droid is listed on top in the PCWorld ratings for the smartphones. I will say it is my first smartphone, and i really like it atcually. Just need to get into my gmail more! I dont really need it's navigation system either as i already keep a simple yet useful tomtom in the car but thought about setting up the features temporarily for a bit just to try them out.

[TechGuy]

We might do that yet! We'll have to see.

When driving home from Baltimore a month or so ago, I used the navigation on the Nexus (which I believe is unchanged from the Droid?) and was very pleased with it's accuracy and easy of use. I was very impressed.

[new tech guy]

Might be, im assuming the nexus is running the android software? and sorry if my information is a bit out of date, ive been playing catchup with the podcasts. In any event i have used the voice search and it ran great. Voice recognition reminds me of a bit of a story where I had in the days of windows xp where i toyed with its voice recognition software back in the days when my home server was the main pc that I used. No matter what i did to this thing When i would say "Hello, my name is Vincent" into a word document to train the dictation of voice recognition, the pc would return "Hello, my name is Nancy. That really confused me. . I gave up on it after a bit, figured if i need speech recognition i would simply use Dragon.
