I recently saw Android's voice recognition -- a feature that long preceded Siri -- described as the "Android's response to Siri". These headlines seldom have much basis in fact. However I would point to two things on the Android side-- a) Preceding iCloud, again, has been a pervasive cloud-based backup system, including a third-party API - http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/backup.html http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/backup.html I won't argue that it's the same thing, because it isn't, but it does provide the highest value functionality. b) But you're not supposed to rely upon that anyways. As another poster mentioned, most of what you do in Android is already cloud based. Whether it's Google docs, or automatic uploads to Google+ or Flickr, etc.
