Siri might want to watch its back. Speaktoit, which has had 1.4 million downloads Droid downloads and a 4.5 out of 5 rating, is now available on iOS. It has been the top-rated Android virtual assistant since launching in October, and was named a Top Ten Android App of 2011 by the New York Times.

By coming to iOS, Speaktoit gives iPhone 3GS and 4 users (who can’t get Siri) the most complete virtual assistant available, and Speaktoit will compete with Siri on 4S by offering newer capabilities. Speaktoit can do everything Siri can, and then some (it even has a sense of humor).

How Speaktoit is different than Siri:

• works on older iPhones, not just 4S.
• lets you customize your avatar, so you’re not talking to a faceless circle.
• can search maps outside the US
• can update your Facebook/Twitter/Foursquare
• adds new functionality often (Siri hasn’t updated since launching).
• speaks what it says (for example, if you search for weather, this is the difference: Speaktoit: “It is 70 degrees in London” vs Siri: “Here is the weather.”). More conversational.

Speaktoit is currently available at the App Store for $1.99, but will be free to the first 100,000 people on Valentine’s Day.
