The Pannous voice actions app for DROID already does most of what Siri does.

How widely usable is Pannous? I noticed that if it doesn't know how to do something, it simply passes the text into a Google search. I have it, but rarely use it, since for me it has usually been either just a glorified voice search (through Google), or just for basic phone commands. Neat for a little while, but it is actually simpler just to swipe.

I am just wondering if I haven't given it enough of a chance. I know it can do natural language queries (off of what database, I have no idea), but it rarely has what I ask for. Is there a large amount of functionality tied into it?

When my old MyTouch, yeah the original very slow one, was updated to Android 2.2, it had full voice capability without using any outside apps. I could text, search, navigate etc just by holding down the search button for a second then speaking.

I now have a newer phone and the voice control still works great, just faster.
