Siri Look-A-Like For Windows Phone 7?

So, your iPhone touting friend just traded in his/her iPhone 4 for the 4s, but you can't tell the difference until he/she holds the home button and poof, Siri the assistant shows up!  Sure, Apple did market it as a "4s" feature only, but as us geeks know, that is a LIE (and more LIES)!  And sure, it is one of the most over-hyped "features" (along with face unlock by Android) of 2011!  And sure, many devices have had voice command, but not as "sophisticated" as Siri.

So yes, while Siri can be ported to older iOS devices that is not the point of this... post.  The point is, well, Windows Phone 7's unofficial answer... Ask Ziggy.  Ziggy is not a native app from Microsoft, but nevertheless it is very impressive.  The developer, Shai Leib, is using the voice-recognition software from Nuance akin to what Apple uses with WOLFRAM ALPHA.  Even though Leib is using the Nuance software, everything else is his coding and work!  It is pretty amazing what developers can do!  Sure, it is not as polished as Siri, but for a small time developer this is a great feat!  Imagine if Microsoft took the reigns on this thing (with the developer of course) and how far it could go!  Well, go ahead, bask in the glory of Ask Ziggy.
