Did anyone hear that fizzle? Its another 1st, 2nd or is it 3rd gen vr package without a brain. The name Vlingo?

So, the service was pretty useful, but the Vlingo-powered voice recognition is far from perfect. For some reason, my girlfriend wanted to watch the new X-Files movie, and that devolved into an argument into how old David Duchovny was. I asked my question and was greeted with "How old is dave couch."
Sure, you can always use the keyboard to enter searches, and I did find it adapted to my speech after a while, but the voice recognition isn't completely there yet. (Duchovny's 48, by the way.)
But even more disappointing was the lack of GPS integration to find nearby locations. I was using a capable BlackBerry Pearl, and when I asked for "pizza," I was given a whole range of places in the city. You can rest assured that if I'm at the point where I'm audibly searching for pizza, I want it to be as close as possible.
If it only had a brain! HEY ONE DOES!!!!!
