I don't think the knowledge graph is available in my country.. It doesn't seem to bring up the same answers (instead, very simplified versions) as those that are shown in video's asking the same questions.

I'm in Australia by the way.

Oh well, still beats the crap out of my friends iPhones haha.

Yes it does. :\ I've used it several times for both.

The reminder doesn't work for dates yet though I think. Just reminders for within the same day.

Gotta love how Google worries about making an iOS app work instead of giving ICS the voice search abilities. It runs fine but ICS, but you have to install a modified version as Google feels only JB should get it. Stupid.

The best would be if it popped up a message saying "if you like this, imagine how good it is on an Android phone".

If you have JB, which the vast majority of Android phones don't. Nearly a year after ICS released, my Android phone just got that. While we have been promised JB, it's likely Mango or Nutella or Orange Tang will be out by the time we do.

Wonder how long before Apple blocks this. God forbid someone does something superior to what Apple offers, then they call it inferior.
