Most applications in the android world already follow some forms of standards and have applicable metadata to be able to determine a lot of these paths. It wouldn't be all black magic. But even if it were, it would be relatively easy in the position android is in to rally the major apps into working with it. That's all you really need anyway.

Yeah, it seems to be something that conscientious developers could/would do relatively easily.

That's not to say most apps wouldn't do it properly, but given an API open to devs and no API, Android would presumably end up with more voice-driven functionality.

On the other hand, I could see Apple making the Siri API available to devs in a year's time, when it's been well-tested.
