I tried Vlingo and the Droid X was very slow.

Have you tried IRIS?

From Apple's Siri Vs. Android's Voice Actions:

"Android users, however, have grumbled over the reaction, which has admittedly ignored the many similarities between Siri and Android's Voice Actions feature. Voice Actions, which was first released last August for the Motorola Droid 2 phone, includes many of the same functions as Siri."

I hate to tell you this, but I've had Siri on my iPhone for much longer than Apple has owned them and much longer than a similar app has been available for the Android devices.

Yes, Siri as a third party app was available prior to Apple buying the company and prior to Aug 2010 when the feature was released by Google. I was comparing when Google released the feature vs when Apple released the feature.
