This is almost an insult to Apple. I read it as "Siri is so much not a threat that all the praise in the world will not help it." I also tend to agree. If you talk to your phone then you want it to talk back. Currently you input voice and then get back visual results. If you are in a voice only situation then you want to keep it in that context. If If I have the bandwidth to look at a screen and interface then I have the bandwidth to input a more specific search in the first place. Siri is a toy and Google is giving them lip service.

Uh? Have you seen any demo videos? The fact that it talks back to you and can interact only by voice is pretty much the only feature that sets Siri apart from previous voice control solutions.

You could argue that it's not complete yet, but they are doing exactly what you describe.
