Google launches Siri, challenges iPhone, iPad

Google launches Siri, challenges iPhone, iPad

San Francisco: Siri may be feeling a little job anxiety. The sometimes amusing assistant that answers questions and helps people manage their lives on Apple's iPhone and iPad is facing competition from an up-and-coming contender made by Google.

The contest began with the release of a free iPhone and iPad app that features Google Now, a technology that performs many of the same functions as Siri.

It's the first time that Google Now has been available on smartphones and tablet computers that aren't running on the latest version of Google's Android software. The technology, which debuted nine months ago, is being included in an upgrade to Google's search application for iOS, the Apple software that powers the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. It's up to each user to decide whether to activate Google Now within the redesigned Google Search app, which is available through Apple's app store.

Siri tried to dismiss the competitive threat. When asked for an opinion about Google Now, Siri responded: "If it's all the same to you, I'd rather Google later."
