Dragon Go! for iPhone gets smarter by adding more services

Dragon Go! for iPhone gets smarter by adding more services

Dragon Go! fron Nuance was already a great way to find information by voice on the iPhone. It's free, and I often used it as a demo to show what the iPhone could do. Then, along came Siri and it got the Lion's share of attention from users and the press.

With a new version of Dragon Go!, released today, the app has gotten smarter and does a few things Siri can't do.

The app has added one big source of travel information, Expedia. which gives it a competitive edge against Siri and newcomer Evi.

As an example, I asked each app to find flights between Seattle and Las Vegas. Dragon Go! came up with the options quickly. Siri responded "I can't help you with flights. Sorry." Evi referred me to the web and provided a link, but couldn't get me there directly.
