However, Maluuba doesn't quite match up to Siri in some areas. For example, it won't give you movie reviews or last night's baseball scores. And when you update, say, Facebook or Twitter, it interprets the slightest pause in your speech as completion of your update. It needs to better recognize natural pauses.

And locations. I asked it for the nearest Fedex drop box, and it gave me locations in Ann Arbor--a town that's about 35 miles down the road. Odd, too, given that it had no problem steering me to my exact location in Google Maps when I asked, "Where am I?"

I also encountered a small bug when testing the app on a Motorola Defy XT: The My Day page constantly displayed a spinning "syncing my day" icon; for whatever reason, it never actually finished syncing. Only after I skipped ahead a few days did it complete the action.

It would be nice if Maluuba offered some method for linking itself to, say, the Search button (with a double-tap, perhaps), or some other automated way to load it. That said, this is one seriously cool and useful Android app, one you should definitely whip out the next time a co-worker crows about Siri.
