I hope they do well. Nothing sparks innovation like competition and someone looking to take your lunch.

Nobody has explained why my command must be broken down, streamed to the Google/Apple Servers, thought about, then the answer streamed back to me when Microsoft Voice Command did it all on the Windows Phone in 2005. Really, Siri, you don't need to k…
