Android and iOS are looking more and more similar as time goes on. Android copies iOS... iOS copies Android. Sometimes Android is ahead with features, sometimes iOS. Eventually both OS's will reach a point of maturity with relatively equ

How Siri can open up to 3rd party developers(theobservist.tumblr.com)

Just require the user to add "app" after the app name. Again only the apps the user installs are added to Siri's commands available to the user.

Siri will be open to 3rd party devs IMHO. User will say to Siri, "[App Name], [command]." "New York Times app, read me the 10 top stories." "Pandora app, play Sugarland station." Each developer can list a series of actions = verb + object.

I just downloaded the issue on my iPad. Download the businessapp, and you'll need to subscribe (but you can cancel later) to download the current issue of Steve Jobs.

I agree it's a big "IF". IF Siri works as advertised, then it really could be revolutionary. I remember being pumped up by Google's demo of voice recognition, only to try it out and find it novel and cool but not dependable and accurate e

by dave1619 15y ago
I agree. I think what Apple is releasing in Siri could be bigger than most of us realize. I have several android phones and don't use the voice recognition much because 1 out of every 4 or 5 tries it returns things I didn't mean. That's

Google/Android was first to market with systemwide voice-to-text. But Apple won't disappoint. I expect Apple's Assistant to be pretty impressive.

It's about exerting leadership and taking the realm publicly. Tim Cook needs to do the keynote for Apple, Apple's fans and the public.

That's true. I buy tons of Amazon stuff. Sometimes because it's cheaper. But most of the time because it's more convenient (even when it's more expensive). I factor in wasted time/gas/energy to go to the store and Amazon wins out almost

This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Apple products have proven to be appealing even through the Great Recession. More people will buy iPhones and iPads. Amazon has an infrastructure no one comes close to with online ordering,

Nice catch. Can't wait for Assistant.

I have to agree. iOS and others are innovating so quickly compared to the web, and the usage of native apps especially on mobile devices is just skyrocketing. The trends are pretty clear.

This letter is genius. If Netflix had sent it out I think it would have averted the entire crisis.

I totally agree. Netflix unified gave me the added value I needed to be a subscriber. Now that DVDs and streaming is not only separate subscriptions but even separate accounts, the value of Netflix/Qwikster has plummeted to me. I might j

It's always been confusing to me why Google couldn't come up with a better ratings and review system for local businesses. Google Maps is great on the web and mobile, and they've got millions of users. But still Yelp beats them with revie

This really could be the end of TechCrunch as we know it. It's too bad. HN and TC are the two sites I frequent the most often. Arrington leaving will probably lead to Siegler and maybe Kincaid leaving, and then TC is as boring as any oth

The question is: are you genuinely trying to become nothing or are you trying to become nothing in order to become somebody by accomplishing something, which means that you really aren't nothing.
