IPhone is copying android.

Gingerbread
has the "Voice Talk" built in it.
Voice Talk has the best speech
recognition engine bar.
You can say some pretty
random stuff when you're voice
to texting and it picks up just
about anything as long as
you're clear and no one is
speaking over you. Siri was a
standalone company that had
an app for previous iphones.
Now, Apple bought it out and
built it in to their OS. So the
previous post was mostly false.
Voice actions are not licensed/
copyrighted/etc by Apple...Siri
is. Thanks again to Apple for
confusing the novice into
thinking Apple came out with
some feature first and then
name branding it. Most of the
other capabilities/specs in the
iphone 4s shown in the demo
video have been in Androids or
are in Androids like the Galaxy
S2. If you can tell I like Android
then let me end by letting you
know I do have an open mind
and try to remain unbiased. I'll
do this by stating that two
strengths I feel Siri has that
Android Voice Talk does not.
First the ability to schedule a
meeting and be notified if
there's a conflicts and the ability
to set a reminder for arrival to a
GPS location. If Siri has better
speech recognition than it used
to have then it may prove to be
very useful and competitive.
I'm waiting for the
Nexus Prime so I can see a
taste of what Android 4.0 (Ice
Cream Sandwich) has to offer.
