Apps at time of launch?

[Csdaytona]

Will most apps work/be available on the Galaxy Nexus when the phone is launched?

I would imagine all apps would work... some will be optimized. I'm hoping Netflix releases an HD app

that's what I'm most interested in, netflix. I thought during the moto razr press event they mentioned that netflix would stream in HD to the Razr.

Yeah... must suck for all those iphone 4 owners who are denied that... Any Android phone running 2.1 or higher (that means even my HTC Hero I just gave away), had a very good voice search. Plus, it was a hell of a lot faster (and didn't require DUAL COREZZZZ!!!!). I wonder why the iPad 2 doesn't have it...

There is no guarantee but I think most apps should work.

Look at iOS5, there were a few apps that did not work on iOS5, google voice for example. But the developers quickly fixed it within a week.

So they can sell you the iPad 3?

Like was said, most will. Not all will have optimized graphics however for that high of a resolution. If the graphics look good on a tablet, it will look better on a phone (same-ish resolution, higher density)

Plus, we have Speaktoit and Vlingo. Both excellent. Speaktoit is more like Siri, however.

Because Siri is a beta app? They are probably testing load on their new data server in North Carolina. Apple Doesn't like to be too bleeding edge like Google. Google prefers to place software out as a beta and test it that way. While Apple prefers to give the appearance of a finished product even if it misses features.
