Unfortunately, Iris’ speedy construction means there are still some rough patches, and in a brief trial this morning I had more problems than I did with Siri. It started well: asking “What is Android?” brought back a potted definition from online, read out loud to me; asking what time it was in Hong Kong pulled up the time, though Android’s text-to-speech mangled the numbers (the on-screen version was fine).

Seems like it'll be only a matter of time :]

Did they build a platform or just a product in those 8 hours. If it's not a platform, I'm not impressed.

It is VERY basic and actually kind of funny... Ask are you a girl? No. Are you a boy? No, I am a girl. But you said you're not a girl! No I didn't.

Either way not something I see much use for. I can use voice commands for my main things and I don't need to have a conversation with my phone for any reason other than to waste time.
