In recent history, Apple has been promising a lot but frequently has problems delivering. Siri is a perfect example of promising much but delivering little, although it does serve that "little" with a touch of style. Siri's "personality" is very well done.<p>Google arguably delivers more utility with it's voice recognition features. If you want context, Google Now serves that up in spades (almost to a scary degree)! However, Google seems averse to presenting that utility with a personal touch, as Siri does. Google also seems to prefer understating what their offerings can do to the point that few people seem to even know they're there. Every time I play around with Android's voice features I find out it can do things I had no idea it could do before.<p>While Apple talks big and Google quietly delivers, it's telling who the media darling is. You just can't sell much copy about a collection of integrated voice features, no matter how well they work, when there's a named pseudo-AI sitting in a lot of people's pockets! Thanks to Siri, Apple has people sold on the notion that the future is coming even while it's quietly arriving ahead of schedule from Google.
