As the title specifies I'm really annoyed that Google gave iOS a better search than us on ICS. They basically gave them the search of JellyBean (minus the Google Now). What the hell?!

You answered yourself right there. We have Google Now, they don't. Why would they make the exactly same search app for Android when Jellybean has it. I also understand that its not there for Android, but what happened to downloading that flashable package that you can just flash to get GNow? iOS doesn't have that now do they...
Just my opinion

Google doesn't make very much money from Android itself; it's mostly for revenue from the Play Store and the data/advertising that they pull from mobile users.
Google needs excellence in a bottle to get iPhone users to use their apps over Apple Maps and Siri search (which is why the iOS Google Maps looks better than Android).
Give them time; if you haven't noticed they're revamping everything. Gmail, Offers, Currents, Play Store, Google Music; they're finetuning everything. Don't get butthurt so quickly.

Second this! People take everything so personally. Google makes a lot of money off of people using their products on iOS devices. They'd be stupid to provide a less-than-exemplary experience, even in a competing ecosystem.
Google now is still better than the search on the iPhone. But I must say that chrome is a lot better on the iPhone.

It's not; because Apple doesn't allow Apps to really do their own thing on the phone - Google Chrome for iPhone is essentially Safari with a Skin over it
I'm a little confused by this rant. Google now is extremely powerful if you know what you are doing and its only getting better.

Ah OK I see the ICS now, but still I don't get the point of this rant or why its here. It has nothing to do with the skyrocket and honestly I don't get what the op wants. Root the phone run any number of jb ROMs including a leak firmware. This thread really provides nothing to the community.

My friend told me about an app that is in development that allows you to download any Apple App and play them on Android... is this real? i looked everywhere and couldn't find this..
this would be great, and if its not in development is it even possible in the future?
You've been lied to, no such thing exists.
It would be nice, but unfortunately no
It would be awesome if someone does that
But there are a lot of performance issues involved in this

Can anybody tell me how or if I can get get S VOICE on epic touch? Im on the goodness rom? If not is there something like it?
Right now S Voice only works half the time anyways. It has some serious issues with server support. Check out the market for a few different "virtual assistants".
Nothing works better than Google Voice Search though.

Google Now is likely superior to s-voice in every way, but some features might not be implemented yet (and I haven't actually compared them, so here)
Hmmmm not sure .... I'm going to finish testing google now ..but so far s voice on goodness is running pretty flawless

I have never used siri tbh but I can say this. I only used svoice for a bit yesterday and compared to a lot of virtual assistant apps it worked pretty well! Still haven't dabbled in google now but it was OK!

Yah suri is the only thing applr has better then samsung atm tbh i would rarely use suri if i had it but i would like to be able to shut some isheep up.
Also i have not used google voice yet i have heard its better then suri but i wanna confirm that for myself.

S Voice completely sucks. gives almsot THE SAME results as Google Voice Search.
its really not even worth using. I would just stick to not using it, but if it really matters just get the iphone :/

Lol I defenitly have no interest in the iPhone ....I'm going to stick with freedom on android .... but like I said s voice does pretty well for the most part and I set many many appointments calendar invites and calls/texts with it today while driving ...so far not the BEST but not to shabby

I didn't find S Voice as bad as everyone says. It's not great, but I owned a 4S for awhile and Siri was really mediocre, especially when needed like in the car and hands free. S Voice didn't need to do much to be comparable, and heck it actually opens apps!
Eva/AVX is the most advanced voice assistant I've tried, especially paired with Tasker, but it's not as user friendly to the beginner.
Ok...Ok
If i want s-voice anymore theres a really nice working port here at xda

Siri sucks and S Voice sucks, although Google Now is actually pretty good in my opinion.
I myself personally like "Assistant" which is a free app on the Play Store. You can customize the appearance of the avatar, change the voice (UK/US male or female) and it searches pretty much every aspect of your phone (from music, to contacts, to wikipedia etc.) when performing any request.
Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speaktoit.assistant
Genuinely fantastic app, been using it for a while now. I suggest that folks give it try!

I've been addicted to Google for a couple Of years now. but I seem to be more and more obsessed With anything related to Google and specifically anything to do With Android.
what I've noticed about My addiction:
-constant checking Of apps in the play store. countless times per day
-constant checking if there are upgrades to My existing apps. countless times per day.
-countless playing With My android phone. scrolling through the home screens, launching YouTube, etc...
-continuely looking for videos related to Google products (fiber, Google now, nexus, etc...)
- continuely looking for videos related to ANDROID phones (note 2, galaxy s3, LG optimus g, etc..)
-searching for Google tv stuff
-I'm following Google and android on My Google+
-I've downloaded almost every Google app on My phone
I think that's all for now...

Apparently the guy who developed it didn't like all the attention and fame he got around the world. Well that's what a few sites online say...

I just read up on it, and it seems like removing the app is just going to get it talked about more.
There are plenty of people who have the .apk, as well as people who have modified it, and patched it, etc. If there is a way he is collecting revenue off it this would have been a very successful marketing move. However, the app wasn't a paid app, and even though people may be searching "flappy bird" more, I'm kind of curious how he's actually making money off it since the top Google searches are not likely his own website/ad revenue.

He makes money probably because of the ads in the app like most free games are run by some kind of one click advertising that's why some apps charge to remove it
