RIM should get Paul Bettany (who voices Jarvis aka Iron Man's personal siri) to be the voice of Jarvis for a BB10 powered and secure "personal assistant"

Just saying...
I agree. After all, the Iron Man suit has to be run by QNX. No other mobile OS could handle it.
Watson seems interesting. Especially if they allow, and i believe they plan to, open up API's and hooks into Watson so 3rd partys can develop using watson. Maybe ATT&RIM have some early access agreement ($$$) and RIM has already developed a siri like app for BB10? That's be a nice surprise.....
Siri is a gimmick. I had it when I had a 4s and half the time it does not work. It is just another thing apple hyped up, that others have had a very similar thing for awhile.
A Siri-like service for BlackBerry 10 will exclude the devices from organizations that value confidentiality. Stop chasing Apple and the fickle consumer. Focus on your core competencies and market. Screw the gimmicky stuff.
Yesterday's gimmicks are today's standard features. Can't speak for Siri much since I rarely use iOS devices. But Google Now's voice interactions are creepy good.
This is the kind of cloud-based infrastructure that Blackberry isn't going to be able to be competitive in compared to the giants they are competing with. Why? Not only id Blackberry much smaller and shrinking but if Apple and Google sells 20X more devices then that means that it costs them 20X less per unit sold to develop and provide the feature.
There is no way you can compete on the cutting edge of technology with such an economies of scale problem. Sure, they can try to buy the technology but it still costs and it doesn't come in a box. Google processes queries as a part of its core business and Apple bought Siri and has been developing it for years.
