The new Siri app on the iPhone looks pretty intersting (at least from the videos). Is there an application on Android that matches or improves on the same functionality? Specifically, something that doesn't require the memorization of robotic voice commands?
I have tried Vlingo, but for many requests it just seems to perform a Google search which leaves you in a web browser without voice functionality.
There's nothing (at present) that can do all that Siri does.
Depending on your needs you might be able to get close.

To summarize: You'll need one of the following (or a combination):
Update: terryk2 points out Iris, currently in alpha testing, which is by the developers' own admission a direct response to Siri.
While still in alpha, it may be worth checking out Iris. It's got a limited set of Siri's functionality, but it looks like it could be interesting to watch it grow.
That would be Google Search, which also has voice command abilities. Although I am not sure how intuitive the commands can be given, compared to Siri.
I'd say Vlingo is probably the closest but doesn't have the contextual power that Siri does but it's very close.
There is an app called Skyvi in the android market. Initially I used IRIS, but it was quite buggy. This is comparatively better in my opinion. It's humorous as well.
