Ok. So 100% voice-based. That makes sense. That's great. Except if you don't speak English as your primary language.
I've tried Google's voice-recognition on my native language and the results have been closer to sad than lulz-worthy.
Yes, I know English. Yes, I can both write and speak it fairly well. That's not the point: You won't believe how awkward a context-switch from "I'm talking to people" to "I'm talking to this machine, but I need to do so in English" actually feels.
It's just feels so fundamentally wrong, that despite how it might save you time and effort you always go for the option where voice-recognition is not involved.
Unless Google improves their voice-recognition for everything not US English, I predict this product failing horribly in most markets, even with everything else 100% perfect and flawlessly executed.
