Does anyone know how this objectively stacks up to Ssiri? I'm stuck on an older version of Android right now and I've seen some of Siri's shortcomings first-hand. So I've got to wonder... Someone should do a side-by-side.

There are plenty of side by side videos out there. One I found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw-RzN4xYyE&feature=player_embedded# http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw-RzN4xYyE&feature=playe...! I think it's highly debatable depending on what you're actually searching for, but indisputable that Google Now is quicker because it does the voice recognition locally on the device rather than having to upload it to a remote server.

  > Google Now is quicker because it does the voice recognition locally on the device rather than having to upload it to a remote server. It does not. It uploads to a server and does the recognition there, and it doesn't work unless you're connected to the internet. Some functionality (I'm only aware of "Call X") works if you install offline speech recognition, but nothing else.

    Interesting- I had read the exact opposite. I stand corrected.

      I had too :( However, it's easily the best phone I've ever owned. I much prefer it to the iPhone, too.

        Which are you talking about, the Galaxy Nexus? I went for an HTC One S, love the hardware, hate the software.

        Yep, the Galaxy Nexus. I specifically wanted a stock Android experience, and it was 2x as cheap as the other phones, so I got that.

  It's faster, especially on 4.1, because Google has better technology than Apple.
