Apple’s "Siri" VS. Android’s "Google Voice Actions" which voice control app is better?

Apple has never claimed they invented voice control on mobile devices. As most people know, many smartphones before the iPhone 4S have featured some type of voice control. All Apple claims to doing is making the voice command feature better and more user friendly, compared to what was out on the mobile market.
Apple basically bought Siri, made some tweaks, and added it exclusively for the iPhone 4S. So it's not like Apple can claim Siri was their idea.
The big plus about Siri is how you are able to speak naturally to the iPhone 4S as if you were speaking to a regular human and Siri will understand you, without having to sound like a robot.
Check out how Siri works on the iPhone 4S, in the video below.
Motorola on the other hand is not impressed with Siri’s "natural speech" abilities and wants to prove to everyone that Google Voice Actions will kick Siri’s behind. To prove it, Motorola has produced a few YouTube videos to back up their statements.
Using three different Android based smartphone devices, the Electrify, Atrix 2
Motorola takes Google Voice Actions and Siri through some challenges to see how they do. The challenges include:
- Seeing how fast a spoken message can be turned into an email, and sent out
- Which was faster in coming up with navigation directions to a specific location
- Which voice control service was able to send a reminder to the user the fastest
- Which device would go to Motorola.com the fastest
I guess my question would be to all of you is, would you rather have a faster response without having the luxury of speaking out regular sentences? Or, do you not mind waiting a couple extra seconds so that your voice control app can decipher what you just said?
