Siri acquired by Apple; iPhone becomes the Virtual Personal Assistant?
According to an FTC filing unearthed by Robert Scoble earlier this week, Apple appeared to have acquired Siri. The rumour has since been confirmed, and I spoke with Siri board member Norman Winarsky to get some insight as to what this news might mean for the semantic technology startup I’ve been following since before it emerged from stealth back in 2008. Siri reappeared on the scene back in February, launching their innovative (US-only) iPhone app after a protracted silence.
