Not only has Google has removed the fake Siri app from the Android Market, the company deleted all of the apps from the developer’s account.

A company called Official App has added an app to the Android Market called Siri for Android. The funny thing about this app is that it simply opens the “Google Voice Actions” app within Android. Clearly this is a gag app and fortunately it is free. This app has been installed on between 1,000-5,000 phones. I doubt Google will remove the app since this is the type of thing an Android owner can use to show off if an iPhone 4S owner says “Look my phone has Siri!” [The Next Web]
