Want A Virtual Assistant Now?

Yesterday Apple announced the new iPhone 4S. As we wrote, the the iPhone 4S looks the same as the iPhone 4, but its major technical features have been upgraded. Perhaps the most significant part of the announcement is the inclusion of the Siri speech recognition technology that can turn the iPhone into a virtual assistant.

Speech recognition is not new, nor is voice control of smartphones. Android has Voice Actions built-in to it’s search capabilities so that you can say “call Bob at work” or “navigate to the Detroit Institute of Arts.”
