Late Thursday, we discovered a pair of Android applications claiming to be “the answer to Siri for Android” and even sport Apple’s Siri logo (as shown on the right).

According to the description:

Siri, now for your Android device!

This application is a Siri icon that opens “Google’s Voice Actions” app.

Google Voice Actions is a powerful app that comes with every Android device. It supports many different voice commands and Google is constantly working to make it even more powerful. Show your iPhone friends your Android phone can do what Siri does!
Some Example Commands include:

Send text messages
Say “send text to [recipient] [message]*”
e.g. “send text to Allison Miller Running late. I will be home around 9”
