Android Jellybean Voice Search vs Siri

I'm sure Apple will be excited about all this.

So an old version of Siri lost to the new version of Google Voice Search.

Did you watch the video?  It wasn't so much that Siri lost, it was that it had terrible results, including continuing to try and display pictures of a stallion when that was never requested (she asked for pictures of a scallion and Siri would keep wanting to show pictures of a stallion even in future prompts).

If you watched TV and saw the commercials, you'd think Siri could do everything.  Just ask John Malkovich, Samuel Jackson, or Zooey Deschanel.  I've tried asking it the same questions as on the commercial and it doesn't work most of the time.

In most of the cases I've used it, it has pretty poor results.  Novel idea, not the best execution, at least not as good as advertised.

That was the main reason people were being sold the iPhone 4s.  That and the camera were the major upgrades over the iPhone 4.

I've already stated that I think voice search is largely a novel idea and nothing more.  It's not practical to be walking around talking to your phone to do things you could just as easily do by typing out a search on your own.  Even with the new Google Search on Jellybean, I will likely rarely use it.  I still found the video amusing, though.
