Nuance is a leader in voice recognition applications, and today at CES, they have announced their latest application Dragon Go! for Android. Dragon Go! allows users to use voice commands to access and control over 200 leading services such as Spotify, Yelp, YouTube, AccuWeather, ESPN, Facebook, Fandango, Last.fm, Pandora, Twitter, Wikipedia, and more. No more wasting time and fumbling with your device’s keyboard, simply speak a command or request and watch as Dragon Go! executes it.

Not an optimal update schedule for most, but I guess it’s better late than never, right?


Viewsonic announced today that they would be adding to the oversaturated Android tablet market with their own sub-$200 tablet. The Viewsonic ViewPad E70 sounds like a good deal at $170 and having Android’s latest Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, but once you check out the details, you might be singing a different tune.


Google TV is everywhere this year at CES, and while I prefer having it integrated into my TV, there are still a number of viable set-top box options, including the VIZIO VAP430 stream player. Announced today by VIZIO and Google, the VAP430 uses WiFi and HDMI to connect your TV to a number of services, including Google TV.


Popular video sharing service Vimeo finally released an official app for Android. Announced yesterday, the Vimeo app was a sigh of relief for the many Android users who frequent the service. You would have expected to see the user review section riddled with over joyous users shouting “Finally” or “Love Vimeo!” but instead, it seems many users are unhappy with Vimeo’s release.
