Considering that Siri has been available on the App Store for a while, and no one really cared, I doubt it.

- timerickson 15y agoImplementation is key.
- glhaynes 15y agoSiri in app-form was a very different thing, far less capable.
- mrich 15y agoThe key point here is integration though. Just putting a speech recognition app on a phone isn't doing much. But making sure the most common cases you are going to be using it for, e.g. appointments/reminders, searching for specific things, finding a nearby hotel etc. work reliably no matter in what way you phrase it, is the part that makes it really useful. Also consider how you can make sure this works as expected by using all the context available onm a modern smartphone (location/movement, weather, calendar, emergency information, congestion) If Apple does the polishing work for that to work it will be a huge success. They probably aren't there yet though, otherwise their presentation would have put much more emphasis on it. I tested the current state of voice recognition on Android and was mostly disappointed (bad recognition, and nowhere the "intelligence" you would expect).
- foobarbazetc 15y agoThe point is, you could already integrate with Maps/Calendar/Address Book etc from the app. Yes, the integrated Siri is going to be better, but is it going to blow your mind and revolutionise the world? No. Get back to me when it can understand a non-Germanic language.
- yalimgerger 15y agoTablets were a disaster before iPad. Smartphones were ridiculous prior to iPhone. Siri will have the same effect on A.I.
- foobarbazetc 15y agoI'm all about the iPad and iPhone, but Siri is not going to achieve that sort of success for a lot of reasons. Just wait and see. :)
