Nope, I'm not a Republican. I don't belong to any political party. I am merely anti-fascist, anti-nazi and anti-liberal.
And don't believe in the false myth that only one type of people uses Apple products. Even George Bush used multiple Apple devices.
But George Bush said......"The Google". If only he had an iPad at the time, would he have been able to deflect the shoes.
But I can dig it.
I'm moderate. I change from time to time. For example, I voted for Obama but I'm heavily considering Ron Paul for prez. But I don't think I'm voting ever again.
But back to the topic, Apple will steal all your bases and make more money than you know. Marketing>Product. How can you sell something people don't know is there? I find my self finding more about Siri via commericals than me playing with Siri herself!
Microsoft's Craig Mundie said that the iPhone's Siri voice recognition software is not new technology as a similar system has been available on the Windows Phone for over a year
Saying it doesn't make it so.
"In a sense, you know, many people were disappointed with [Apple's] newest phone because it wasn't a completely new thing, so the only thing they really had to hammer on was that feature," Mundie said. "Maybe we need to pick a feature and hammer on it harder."
Disappointed as not a completely new thing? What a maroon. Well, it's a phone, like any other. Only so much you can do with the basic design of any phone. Features are another thing entirely.
Hammer home MS features? How about:
1. The MS Office, Outlook, WIndows OS fully integrated virus proliferation platform.
Lol. I can't beleive some one in the tech biz tried to say Siri is like windows phone bing voice search. Microsoft didn't really advertise this feature because there is nothing fun about voice googling.
Apple sometimes take risks on features that are already available but not very popular. Voice commands have been around for awhile, even on iphones. What Apple did was improve on it, then marketed it. When consumers respond, like and actually use it, all the other manufacturers jump on the bandwagon.
If Apple brought back the stylus, all the other companies would do it too and say they've had it for years.
If Mundie actually believed in their "Siri-like" capabilities he would've been marketing the hell out of it for the last year. But he doesn't, so he didn't. Marketing by whining is not effective.
Windows Phones have had Siri-like functionality for over a year
I used to ride a bicycle when I was a kid... it had 2 wheels, a seat, and a pair of handle bars. So with Microsoft's thinking, it had "motorcycle like functionality", right?

Only if you had a playing card held on the fork with a clothespin to flap in the spokes.
...everyone is just riding Apples wake trying to eek out a living. MS, Nokia... They all are just trying to catch up. Apple does not invent most of which they bring to market, they just make it desirable because it's simple, elegant, reliable and it just works out of the box.
Every time one of their competitors (MS, Nokia...) try to come out with something Appleish they just look like idiots, they are out of there league. TellMe is a perfect example! I've never heard of it until this interview. MS obviously did not think enough of it to market it... so how am I suppose to take it seriously? seriously!
The MS store is another example... there is an Apple and MS store in the mall by my house (Park Meadows). The MS store is ~3x bigger then the Apple store but I never see even half the people in the MS store that are in the Apple store... The MS store employees usually out number the customers... It's a perfect example of MS trying to be something it's not! It's pitiful that MS seems to think that they need to copy Apple. They are not perceived as "cool" like Apple and never will be so just forget it and do what you do best!
And Herman Cain hasn't been inappropriate with anyone...PERIOD!
Name one guy that has never stumbled through a social relationship.

It's just not well thought out in the way it's used, and video clearly demonstrated that it's functionality is limited and unfocused. It's like Siri in many general aspects, but it's the way all these technologies are put together, including good natural language support, that makes it a breakthrough the way the original iPhone was a breakthrough in world that already had smartphone and touchscreens.
"Who am I?"
Siri: "You're Oh Omnipotent one, at least that's what you told me"
"Who are you?"
Siri: "I am Siri"
"Are you serous Siri?"
Siri: "Yes, I'm not allowed to be frivolous"
"Will you have a drink with me?"
Siri: "I found 16 bars fairly close to you"
"Are you hitting on me?"
Siri: "I'm sorry, Oh Omnipotent one, I can't answer that"
This is another example of why MS execs just don't get it - He thinks they have to study Apple's marketing.
Apple isn't eating everyone's lunch because of it's marketing. In fact, Apple's marketing up until the last few years has been practically nil. What MS clearly doesn't understand is that Apple got to where it is by producing a great User Experience. Not the best hardware, or discounts, or tricky little app, or sales pitch or by crippling the competition, but by an overall experience that ordinary people want. This is something that MS (and in fact most companies) have yet to do or even understand.
Actually marketing has been a huge part of why apple is dating everyone's lunch. An there isn't anything Negative about that. Apple has had fantasting marketing which other companies should envy, I'm still amazed at how poorly competitors market thier products. It matters.

I like how the Galaxy S is marketed *sans that satire commercial*......
But they show like 1 commercial and that's it. They need more free publicity.

Of course Microsoft are on the cutting edge with their partner Nokia who are about to release their new Lumia WP7 handset next year in the USA.
It features all new technology that is on the bleeding edge such as:
Single core CPU
No front facing camera
Plastic construction
dodgy buttons
720p video recording
no mobile hotspot capability
Pretty good for a phone due out soon, hope Apple can keep up with Nokia and Microsofts progress because thats one hell of a steep mountain to climb.
Can you provide me the link that says that is the phone they are releasing to the US? Because you are listing the specs of the currently available model, not an unknown model that hasn't been announced yet.
The problem is that many consumers are stupid. Many don't research. Because of this, you have to drum up marketing and focus on key features.
I switched from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S. Siri is alright, I use it on occasion. The camera is better and the phone is faster. Not everyone needs to upgrade, but it's a better phone period.
Nothing would ever lure me back to a Microsoft product, but I don't deny that Windows Phone 7.5 certainly has its merits and might be a great phone for some. They can market to their crowd, in fact they should market better. But I like the Apple ecosystem.

MS's comparison of Tell Me to Siri is just wrong on every level of wrongness.
