Motorola created a bit of a stir yesterday when it released a video comparing Android’s Voice Actions on the Atrix 2 with iOS’s Siri on an iPhone 4S. Fanboys screamed foul in the comments, so we decided to test it out for ourselves. And yes, there’s a very clear winner.

Voice Actions work! Really well! The video above is a good demo, showing it it navigating to Giz, sending an email, finding Starbucks and and making a self-memo. I didn’t even have to hold the phone up to my face.
