Iris, the Siri of Android unveiled

OMG, Google doesn't even try to hide the fact that they just blatantly copy Apple. I wish Steve Jobs had the time to destroy them. Hate when a company do that. Why can't they think their own products? You may say is competition, but one thing is take the inspiration of a product to build your own, and another completely different is just rip them off.

Oh, and now expect every phone to have some kind of assistant in a few months, just like every phone was an iPhone look-alike since the iPhone launched.

Idiotic comment. Google did not make the app. Why don't you do your research before throwing blame?

You bash Google, you're my new enemy. Google has been the best employers I have ever had in my life (even though I did get stuck with a Software Engineering job instead of my degree...)

Iris was the messenger of the Gods in greek mythology (essentially a female Hermes). It's not such a far-fetched name (but still a copy).

Probably Siri was meant to be Iris spelled backwards, right from the start, intended by Apple. Now that you mention what Iris is.

and you are obviously too much of a fool if you think that, also you lack basic reading skills... iris is developed by an independent developer (Dexetra) not google. android is no more a copy of ios than linux is a copy of windows or OS X

btw "droid" is a phone line from verizon, which couldnt be further from apple's design philosophies, i believe you meant android.
