I'm also not aware of siri outperforming Google now. Maybe it's been updated, I'll ask my sister to test with me again. The one vs the x is tough because they're hitting different philosophies. Glad you found something to make you happy!
Nexus. Through spacetime.
I'm with you. IMHO, Siri doesn't stand a chance against Google Now.
Siri doesnt outperform Google now even with iOS7 Siri.
search youtube with countless comparison where Google Now is faster and more accurate.
The one place Siri outperforms Google Now (coming from a former iOS user) is voice-only commands. I keep harping on this to try to build some momentum behind getting Google to address it.
Try this: Pair a bluetooth headset and put your phone in your pocket. Try to send a text message with Google Now configured as your voice command provider. You can fill out the recipient, the message text, etc. Then you get a prompt to confirm sending. Via a button. On the screen, In your pocket.
Try the same thing with Siri and it asks you to confirm. By saying OK. Message sent, no physical interaction. I used to use this all the time when driving. It was easy to send a text message to my wife saying traffic sucked and I was going to be late, or the like.
Don't get me wrong, overall Google Now is better. Voice recognition, speed, etc. Apple has worked pretty hard to optimizing their workflow to make Siri useful in cases where Google Now isn't, though. There is a different focus during development, and it shows. Google Now is about the presentation of information in new and cool ways, and Siri is about streamlining interaction.
I will say that this is one of the places I really appreciate S Voice, Dragon Assistant, and the like. And Android's more open nature makes those apps possible in a way that doesn't happen on iOS. Still, there are definitely some lessons Google Now can learn from Siri.
I bought the X the day it came out, on Friday and today I returned it an exchange for the HTC One, So here's my issue.
"Ok Google Now" does not work as well as advertised, It is nothing like Siri which its trying to be.( you have to admit Siri works pretty well)
The Moto X is $250 16gig on 2 yr contract, the HTC One is $199 for 32 gig
the HTC has all around better specs, it has a bigger screen, and a better camera.

Personally I've never seen siri out perform Google now. Interesting it was that way for you. HTC one is a dope phone though. I got it for my mom's. Still get tickled by how good that camera is in low light. Just hate sense and being forced to use blinkfeed
