I just love apologists, don't you? Yes technology changes, sometimes rapidly, sometimes it is adopted, sometimes it is innovative, sometimes it is ignored.

Voice recognition and parsing is a technology that has been around for some time now, built into telephone voice response units initially, it has been improved upon and adapted by some, is moving into the mobile space now just as Nicholas Negroponte predicted some 30 years ago, I'm sure you know who he is right?

The phone # thingy? That's quite different than Siri. iOS has had some basic voice commands (commands like Android) for a while, now they have Siri which takes it even further than any other mobile technology out there, leaps & bounds. iOS also has had 3rd party apps for a while that went even further than voice commands, probably on par with that of android. So, yeah, android really hasn't been that far ahead. iOS & android both have good & bad. Each does things better than the other. I'm glad they are both around so we as consumers can keep getting more & more.

I do not believe that there is another system that will understand and respond properly to the complex sentences that the Siri system responds to. You can make a mistake and correct it and it will still understand what you are asking for.

Have you really used Siri? Because it's not that good. It's a step into using natural language (for the mainstream) but it's definitely not at the level where it can understand complex sentences...

This may be a very personal thing. each of the friends and coworkers I know with it say it is good and useful. Also, the reviews say this. Like the green shirt, every person may think different of it.

Folks, let's try leave the ad hominem name-calling type stuff out of it, okay? Remember the Guidelines, and keep it polite, keep it about the subject and not the person, and no spitting, scratching or hitting below the belt. Okay, DING-DING! Carry on...

Cheers,
