Angry [Q] What practical use do you see for S-Voice?

What practical use do you see for S-Voice besides waking up phone & ask for weather?

Let's discuss that here, so we could build our experience of possible use ways of S-Voice for the time when we'll get our hands on the phone

I don't see much practical use except maybe for apple fanboys...

Besides in a car I find voice controls hardly practical and sometimes obnoxious.

It doesn't look very stylish to type silently on your phone while waiting in line at Starbucks. So have a conversation with your phone while you wait in line. The Galaxy S3 is just like an old friend who is ready to strike up a conversation with you. All you have to do is say "Hi Galaxy!"

You can shout obscenity at it while you're pissed off at work. There is a market for anger management apps.

^^^That ^^^ but otherwise I don't think I'm going to use it much. I don't particularly feel the need to have a conversation with my phone.

The SGS2 is no fun to talk with because it is just a phone..

But the Galaxy S3 is a different story. She is natural and human. She knows when I sleep. She watches me every moment of the day. She always knows what I want next.

I think it depends what its capable of. Can you ask it to do calculations? can you ask it to create a shopping list? can you ask it to play a certain song? or could you ask it to read out a text message, ask it to call someone.
kind regards,

The key will be extending it to other apps unlike the POS that is Siri which only works with Apple apps. E.g. Can I use SVoice to send messages or make calls using custom dialed or SMS.
