Just a heads up that the latest iteration of Google search incorporates the 'Ok Google' hotwords (similar to the 'ok glass' command for Google Glass). Whilst the search app is open you can say 'Ok Google' at any time (without hitting the mic button) and do all the usual like open contacts, send a text, navigate, or open apps like the camera ('Ok Google, open camera').
If you ask it to do a sum, for example: 'Ok Google, what's 300 x 96?' It'll not only give you the answer, but also call up an onscreen usable calc too (see below)

The latest version now allows you to say 'Ok Google' from any screen (a feature I believe was only available on Nexus devices previously) although this has to be turned on from the Google settings menu. Obviously it's much quicker being able to do this, but one would assume that there would be a commensurately higher battery drain, I'll see how it goes.
Some fun stuff:
Try saying: 'Barrel Roll', 'Tilt' (or 'Askew') and 'Beam Me Up Scotty!' * +

The 'barrel roll' command only worked once for me (the entire screen rotated 360 degrees) but the weird 'tilt' effect works every time..



Here's a list of other stuff you can try (neither dice roll or coin flip have worked for me, but the others are quite funny)
Flip a coin
Roll dice (rolls a single six-sided die)
What is the loneliest number?
Do a barrel roll!
Askew / Tilt
Go go Gadget (Spotify)
When am I?
Make me a sandwich
Sudo make me a sandwich
Whos on first?
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right
Tell me a joke
Who are you?
Beam me up, Scotty! * +
