Really unimpressed. Understands even less than Talk, has a terrible web browser (and one can’t even copy URIs!), and requires location services active for even a Bing search. Still looking…

Nuance does supplies of the core speech recognition and natural language interpretation tech for Siri, but it’s not just white labeling the service to Apple. Nuance won’t go in to any detail about its relationship with Apple, so all I can say is part of Siri is Nuance and part is Apple.

Interesting point! Isn’t Siri “powered by Nuance”?

Hi Lê Đình Tuấn, I suppose there could be, but I don’t know of one. It would have to be either integrated directly into the device by the handset maker or a Java or BREW app, which could access the microphone of the device. The problem is that feature phones don’t have many options to output the results.

Android Market won’t allow Galaxy SII to install, despite being on the certified list.

Is there any similar voice assistant service for non-Apple, non-Android phones (dump phones, feature phones). I mean a cloud service.
