Google is definitely getting better. Their search infrastructure gives them a huge advantage over Apple. I have used Google Now on my friend's Android and it is much better than Siri.
I remember someone linking to a video of Google Now (maybe it was Gruber)and commenting, "How fast should Siri be? - This fast!"
Google can put a voice over their search interface and boom, they have a Siri alternative that works on any platform(though for web only, but it can integrate with Chrome and Android very easily). Just imagine asking your Chromebook to create a new appointment, that would be a nice feature. Or just asking Chrome to do it.
The only problem with Google is that they do not have any customer care! When things go fine, everything is well and good. But one day when your GMail account suddenly stops working and gets blocked, you have no human to talk to!
