[Techno-Chat]; SMS Messages

[Dane Trethowan]

I was out and about yesterday and whilst traveling I had the pleasure of 
explaining to my friend the virtues of the Samsung Galaxy S6 of which 
there are many.

I was then given a task of sending a Text Message easily from my Samsung 
Galaxy s6 to my friend's Apple 4S iPhone, sending a Text Message easily 
whilst driving was something my friend claimed he couldn't do with his 
iPhone 4S

Perhaps its just me but I fond using a touch screen keyboard an absolute 
menace when on the move so I decided to employ Google Now for the Text 
Message sending, I have the Google Now Launcher installed and running by 
default.

I double-tapped the "Voice Search" button at the top right of the screen 
below the notification panel and said "Send sms to friend saying hello".

The S6 responded with "Send SMS to Friend, change it or send it", I 
replied with "Send it" and my friend then had it on his phone's screen.

Yes, nothing much in the scheme of hthings I guess but even I was 
surprised just how well google now performed the task at hand given the 
heavy rain and other traffic noise that could be plainly heard.
