Hi Tony tried to send this earlier but it never got to the list so will try
again.
Hi Tony
Not a smart phone user yet but saw this app mentioned and it appears to do
the same tasks as Siri.
Skyvi is a fast voice application for Android, she knows about everything
from Local Businesses to Food Nutrition!
She makes witty remarks and even tells jokes. She has a social side,
letting you access Facebook and Twitter using voice.
Oh yeah, did we mention it's free?
