Uncle at Nintendo posted:didn't iOS7 introduce this with just the software update? the one everyone turned off because it made them "nauseous" or whatever? why did that require special hardware for the fire phone? no they actually had 4 separate front-facing cameras on each corner of the phone instead of just using the accelerometer

quote:And team members simply could not imagine truly useful applications for Dynamic Perspective. As far as anyone could tell, Bezos was in search of the Fire Phone’s version of Siri, a signature feature that could make the device a blockbuster. But what was the point, they wondered, beyond some fun gaming interactions and flashy 3-D lock screens. “In meetings, all Jeff talked about was, ‘3-D, 3-D, 3-D!’ He had this childlike excitement about the feature and no one could understand why,” recalls a former engineering head who worked solely on Dynamic Perspective for years. “We poured surreal amounts of money into it, yet we all thought it had no value for the customer, which was the biggest irony. Whenever anyone asked why we were doing this, the answer was, ‘Because Jeff wants it.’ No one thought the feature justified the cost to the project. No one. Absolutely no one.” ah yes, siri, the big killer feature that made iphone successful. so successful, in fact, that it went back in time and made the three? iphone models that never had it into successes it's hilarious to me how all of apple's competitors think that the only reason iphone is successful is because it had siri as a big "wow" feature, and that they'll be able to beat apple if they come up with a big dumb marketing feature or siri competitor of their own Main Paineframe fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Jan 9, 2015 |

well you don't have to use siri to use an iphone successfully but you do have to suffer through bezosvision if you want to use a fire phone

yeah but for some reason apples competitors think siri is the only reason anyone uses iphones and that sole concern in an iphone competitor is to come up with a "siri killer" feature see also: all those windows phone commercials centered entirely around "here is a thing our siri knockoff does that the iphone siri doesn't"

not alarms though because she just adds a new alarm every time you set one to a new time so you end up with a list of like 20 alarms

Jeff Bezos is the king of "me-too" so IDK what the gently caress he's talking about with this turning Amazon into the next Nike or Apple or whatever. He even has Blue Origin, his me-too Rich Guy Aerospace Company.

siri and google now and all that poo poo are terrible and i cant use them nd it's just a bad experience every time i try (i've only used google now) i'm sure it could be at least a little bit useful if i learned how to deal with all of it but gently caress i just dont care about having a voice controlled phone someday this will be an awesome feature that everything has but there are so many kinks to work out between now and then

Phoenixan posted:i think it's just because apple used siri in their keynotes and in ads and things, so everyone else desperately wants a voice to attach to their devices that people instantly recognize and say "oh yeah that's the voice of cortana" or "that's the voice of an amazon cylinder" how would anyone recognize the voice of cortana, they always use an obvious voice actress in ads
