Well, it's great for search, but things that people use Siri mostly for are "please call X", "please remind me to do Y" or "make an appointment for Z".

As long as the Google app cannot interface with Contacts, Reminders or Calendar, this is just an interesting tech demo and nowhere near a Siri replacement.



Exactly. I am amazed that so few people get this. It's not about speed or accuracy, but rather about being tightly integrated with other apps on the phone.


+1. Voice recognition is mainly about hands-free utility; interacting with the phone's features and functions. Google's implementation is impressive, but it will just be something fun to show off for now.
