Will Apple Let Siri and Apps Connect?

Posted by Unknown on from the zombie-newton-seeks-agency dept.

holy_calamity writes "Developers want to know when their apps will be able to connect to Siri, the virtual assistant built into the new iPhone 4S. Technology Review reports that providing APIs for Siri would not only make it possible to control apps with casual voice commands, but could also make Siri smarter if it is connected with other AI services able to do things like make very specific restaurant recommendations based on a person's past actions."

    If Siri gets connected to your gps navigation app... well, just don't do anything to piss Siri off.

      Isn't Siri just a fancy name for SkyNet? If Siri becomes self-aware, we're done.
