Apple announced with the release of the iPhone 4s that it will include a virtual assistant called Siri. While this is a great feature for Apple to add to their new phones we all know Google is king when it comes to voice recognition at this point. The word on the street is everyone that was hoping for a virtual assistant on their Android devices will get it with Ice Cream Sandwich.

We haven’t verified this yet but a tipster from Google says they have been working on taking their Voice Search app up a notch with virtual assistant features already. Google being the leader in voice technologies and facial recognition will bring these new features to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
