Yeah it's 2 apps, but i dont mind because i'd need a second app in iOS for navigation too
I'm on JellyBean so I don't need that file, but yeah I've seen it. I been rocking AOKP Jellybean for a while and it can't be beat!

Google Now is actually better than Siri, I've said things like "what is 5 x 5 divided by 12 x 1.5 x the square root of 82" really fast and Google Now had an answer in like 2 seconds, Siri had no clue what I was talking about

You might look at the Galaxy Nexus. It's got essentially the same specs* and you can get a mint one from various sties for like $225 to $250 and save a contract upgrade.


*in daily performance, krait doesn't really outperform the OMAP processor in the gnex. Same RAM, same screen resolution, .15" difference screen size BUT with an actual AOSP official 4.1.1 update! I've used the One X, SGS3, and gnex and actually prefer the gnex as a daily.
