Voice to Text option: The keyboard comes with a dedicated voice to text push option, so you need not download a third party app for this.

Social Media Use: Android phones come equipped to deal with the world of social networking. There are built in apps, which allow you to share what you’re doing and reading to Facebook. Twitter, Flickr, Whatsapp, Texts and E-mails. Basically, you can be in touch at all times. You don’t need a third party app to share what you do at all. Other than that, you can simply sign into your social networks once and updates from friends come automatically on Friend Stream! One more on the reasons to love an Android phone queue.
Open Source Software: The OS for Android is open source, meaning developers can experiment around and tinker as much as they like. This allows a thousand more people helping to make good changes in the OS and bringing out a consensus on what the customers are looking for in upgrades and patches.
