Remember when the iPhone 4s came out, one of its innovative attractions was Siri. According to Apple, Siri is the intelligent personal assistant that helps you get things done just by asking. It allows you to use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and more. Siri understands your natural speech, and it asks you questions if it needs more information to complete a task. Along with an extensive marketable campaign, Siri became to many an astounding piece of technology to have on your phone at the time, but after using it a few times it kind of became slow and not as accurate as they made it seem on the commercials, it was a dud. Well that was then, now the competition is giving Siri a run for its money, as of today Google is giving Iphone users the option of a new app called Google Now. Google Now would  serve as the primary service that smartphone users rely on to get everything from weather updates to traffic forecasts. Google Now aspires to play an important role by helping users with daily chores such as looking up information on the Web, handling calendar appointments and managing travel plans, pretty much what Siri does but better. According to analysts, Siri posed as a threat to the Google, the information that Siri provides on common topics like nearby restaurants, sports scores and such reduces the need to use Google as a search engine, with that in mind the people at Google created Google Now. How it works is that the technology taps into Google’s various online services, from Web search to personal Gmail email and Google Calendar entries, to deliver relevant information throughout the day in pop-up windows that Google refers to as “cards.” Maybe this will give Apple an incentive to make some changed to improve Siri and come out with something new. Whether this is better option than Siri or not, it’s up to the public to decide, I know that I barely use the Siri on my phone but maybe I’ll give this new app a try. What do you guys think?
