The iOS has obtained exclusivity of the virtual assistant SIRI and gained remarkable scores and comments from users and critics. It has made iOS smartphones unique against the Android devices by defining the meaning of intelligence. However, the virtual assistant is still in development for best usage in a lot of countries.

In fact, the Philippine spoof of the virtual assistant called Ate Vangie has so far reached a few million hits and spawned several versions after it made light of the inability of Siri to understand other languages, accent and find locations outside the U.S.

Siri originally researched by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) before its real inception as Siri. In 2007, Dag Kittlaus, Adam Cheyer, and Tom Grubber founded the Siri system itself. iPhone gained solo development in the virtual assistant system leading BlackBerry while denying Android rights to obtain the same application.

iPhone units have gained a lot of spotlight in this for quite a while but Android won't be sitting down and watching the battle to turn in favor of the iOS. In response to Siri, Android gained a similar program and made another try out versus the famous Siri with The Dragon Go! by Nuance Communications.
