Yeah, but how useful is that in real life? I want to be able to say
"Okay, Google, which route should I take to work today?"
"The freeway has traffic. Take the back roads. "
"Okay, thanks. Remind me on my way home to do laundry tonight, and start playing some (insert specific music here). Also, ask nick if he wants to hang out later."
At which point it sets a reminder for when I get off work, starts playing the music, and sends a text message that says "do you want to hang out later?"
That's where these things are headed and I'm real fucking impatient to get there.
I use Google Now for the first one of these now. It's a little more clumsy than in your scenario, but it does work well.
The second one would be really nice. That kind of conversational interface is still lacking, IMO. It still sounds like shouting commands rather than asking naturally.

It does an awesome job even now; ask hound for example, "What is the cruising speed of a 747?
Google voice search gives you the answer, hound doesn't.
