Move aside "Siri', "Evi" is here.......

"Siri" is one of the selling points of Apple's new marvel, the iPhone 4S. and Apple has done enough to keep it restricted to the newer version of the iPhone ( although through a complex hack, "Siri" can be ported onto your ios 4 devices ).

Android lover have their fair share of A.I. apps, but they are not as polished as "Siri", which is generally the case with almost all the android apps.

One shortcoming of "Siri" is that , it is best suited for US related data searches, so if you are living outside the states, you are out of luck.

But no need to worry now, a new kid is on the block, looking to give some serious competition to "Siri". Hold your breath folks, here is "Evi".

"Evi" is developed by True Knowledge (http://corporate.trueknowledge.com/), and is available in beta for both Android and ios platform , not limited to iPhone 4S.

Check more about it in this tech crunch article,

Never thought will see this !

The news has been going around , but was confirmed at the recently concluded CES 2012, Microsoft's new redesigned Windows 8 will leave the comfort of the Intel based processor architecture and will be available on the most widely used mobile processor architecture i.e Arm.

Also, Intel at the same event showcased a new device manufactured by Lenovo, sporting the new Intel processor for mobile devices based on the energy efficient Medfield architecture, which is an extension of the Atom series. and this device will be running Android 4.0 ( Ice cream sandwich ).

These two events present the efforts being undertaken by the two tech giants ( Intel and Microsoft ) to stay relevant in this unstable, ever changing technological scene.
