Android Developers Create Siri Rival "Iris" in 8 Hours

[STravis]

In typical Android fashion, a new half baked app is released and all the droidfans drool over it because they think they put one over Apple. This kind of bs is why Android will never break into the professional arena, and why I thank my lucky stars there are enough options out there that I don't have to buy an Android based phone...

I love how they reversed the name. I think if I ever have twin girls I will name them Siri and Iris.

 

[Shin-san]

They need Siri and Iris to talk to each other

And I thought something like this tech would be produced from Japan first. Since it seems like their culture is really into the whole robotics and virtual reality type of technology.

Someone should ask if she knows GLaDOS.
I wonder if she would say "I am GLaDOS"

Great just what we need. If siri wasn't bad enough. The least thing we want is our phones telling us how to go about our day. Whats next "Smart homes"

Breaking news: android douches can't come up with anything creative and follow apples lead.


Oh wait, it's been like that for years will still be like that.

I like Siri, it's just better.

8 hours "total development time" would imply they are done, but clearly they are not, especially since it is in ALPHA... so... well done, Siri|iriS we'll see what's next. As far as the developers are concerned they might think it's the same as Siri, but that's like saying I built a Ferrari yes my car is like a VW, and lacks doors, windows, and is painted with just Primer.

Apple bought out Siri and suddenly when a competitor comes out something similar Apple should sue?? That's like saying Apple came out first so PC vendors should be sued.

All Android has to do is copy Apple's innovation and make it better to succeed.

[tomfreak]

[citation][nom]lockhrt999[/nom]We already have Dragon natural voice recognition and it does a lot more than SIRI or IRIS.[/citation]Really? but unfortunately it doesnt come together as bundle with windows.

[citation][nom]11796pcs[/nom]All Android has to do is copy Apple's innovation and make it better to succeed.[/citation]True.... only problem is that right now Android had nothing better than Apple. Not in terms of software anyway... The hardware is nice but those phones are getting bigger and bigger... I sure hope next iteration will not bring Full-HD 7" phones...

why not daedalus (deus ex) or glados (portal). Would fit better i think .

Actually, STanley Krubick is suing them both. He invented this with Hal 5000 like 40 years ago.
