Which performs better, Google Voice Commands on a DROID RAZR by Motorola or Siri on the iPhone 4S?

Maxis is offering the iPhone 4S 32GB for free if you subscribe its iValue 4 plan of RM375/month for 24 months during this Chinese New Year. Actually this isn’t new as it is an extension of its earlier promo which ended on 15th January 2012. This offer valid limited time only, starting 16 January 2012till 29 February 2012. Normally the iPhone 4S 32GB is offered at RM350 for 24 months on iValue 4.

Siri is awesome but probably not so in other countries. How would think Siri will fair with the way we Malaysians speak English?

Take a look at this video especially towards the end when Siri answers “noted”. The computing that goes on behind this piece of software is extraordinary. We will say that Siri is one very intelligent piece of code and this video demonstrates Siri’s intelligence amazingly.

Question now is, is Siri practical in everyday use? Especially when you’re talking to it in noisy environments. What do you think?

As usual, it’d be wise to save your SHSH blobs. Not sure what we’re talking about here? Make sure to check our SHSH guide.
