Never seen such a blatant ripoff

Why is the voice command in bb10 a virtual clone of Siri? Is there no innovation or?

What do you think they could have done different? Give some examples.

Why are you so mad at a product/feature that hasn't been officially revealed? Is there no common sense or?

I'm not mad I just think its quite amusing how everyone here bashes apple but when rimm copy's them its innovative and crackberry loves it lol

...because there IS no other way to do voice command....

you say something and it has to say something back!

Do you think Siri is a rip off off two people having a conversation?

Perhaps the human race could sue apple!!

Hmmmmmm ... just wondering how many ways there are to implement voice-recognition. You talk to it, it does what you tell it. Yep, I think that's about it.

Lol Apple inovated Microphone icon hahahahahahahaa

There's only so much you can do with a voice-recognition system. You can't expect them to look or work vastly differently, the only real way to judge them is by the speed of responses and how well it recognizes commands.

**gorang** · 01-19-2013, 05:59 PM

Apple purchased Siri technology anyway so this topic really has no point.

**beastberry_10** · 01-19-2013, 06:00 PM

I haven't heard one person here say the voice command app on bb10 was innovative so i dont know where you are getting this.?!?!?!

**sam_b77** · 01-19-2013, 06:00 PM

OP,
Apple copied SIRI from BB. My 8800 running on OS4.5 had voice commands. I needed to press a button (Apple copied) to activate voice commands. It then said " Say a Command" ( Apple Copied)....I could go on but you get the point. Have you Apple fanbois completely wiped out the years before 2007 from your memory?

**jhirizarry** · 01-19-2013, 06:05 PM

Ok, so let make it so you just swear at it and it responds accordingly back to you. Don't expect to be perfect and don't push it to much cause it will swear back to you. That will be innovative, or you can make it and option. Then you can call it Swearit.

My 2005 car has a button you press on the steering wheel and tell it to put restaurants on the map or set the temperature to 74 or whatever. Who "ripped off" whom?

**mrskycar** · 01-19-2013, 06:08 PM

Considering Apple's addiction to patents I wouldn't be surprised if they turn this into a case of blatant rip-off but that would be opening another box of they did/we did. People associate mics and recording sound so no ripping off as I see it. I think BlackBerry could have used the BB icon instead but that is personal taste.

**D2bleD** · 01-19-2013, 06:15 PM

Do you even know the history of siri, or may I say iris? Better yet, how long have you own a bb device or have you ever used one? Voice command was in bb devices before iphones came out. Despise ignorance....
