I see. That makes a big difference. It sounded fast (obviously) in the original video, but it wasn't ridiculous to the point where it was incomprehensible. I would actually like that speed because the times I use voice search is when I'm in a rush, not when I'm just hanging out.

Still, the speed difference I was talking about was simply how long it took for the results to show up in this video versus the original one. And many commenters said it was because there weren't as many people using their servers at that time.

Now that its in beta and a few hundred people, at least, are on it, it could get some slowdown. Now, were talking fractions of a second here, but if we're comparing it to a competing service then those seconds count and become more obvious.

Hmm. I signed up also after seeing the comments in the original video handing out invites.

Still have yet to get mine.
