[Dragon Go!](http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/nuance-dragon-go-android/) has been given the elbow, with the slightly more professional sounding Dragon Mobile Assistant taking its place. [Nuance](http://www.engadget.com/tag/nuance/) has expanded on its predecessor's verbal commands, with new functionality for maps (you'll be able to bark direction requests at the new app and it'll plan the route), alongside a hands-free wake-up feature activated by saying "Hi Dragon" -- we hope you have a high embarrassment threshold. Other [Siri](http://www.engadget.com/tag/siri/)-esque features include weather updates and dictated SMS and email responses. The beta app can be downloaded from today, although compatibility is limited to Android Ice Cream Sandwich and above for now. Nuance is promising more features and increased availability later this year.
