If this is true, I wonder why wait... why they wouldn't try to beat Apple to market?

This is true. I've seen videos of the demo that they did at their announcement. However, the demo was used for games and fun stuff and nothing really "useful" was shown. Hopefully if they do implement it, it will be for productivity and uniqueness and not just for having fun with in your spare time.

I think when he made the video, he had just recently got the phone (judging by the date and his enthusiasm.) I am able to use this feature without having to go into a program. I just double click my home button and start speaking into it. Also, once a sequence of command is finished, it does allow me to chose my next move whether it be go to the home screen, get direction or what not.
I own an iPhone 4 as well (although it is irrelevant when it comes to Siri) but I do hope that it does implement it well. I'm not a hater on the product or of Apple, I just like to make realistic comparisons. So far, all of you have been doing just that rather than making ignorant comments, so kudos to you guys.
