BlackBerry 10 Device Shows Siri Integration

BlackBerry 10 dev alpha devices have actually gotten many people a little excited about BlackBerry smartphones again, except for the fact that we need to wait until early 2013 before the public can try one out. Despite the postponement of the BB10 smartphone, developers have been playing, and in the video seen below, you can see Siri-esc features being tested. Funny thing is that it not only works just like Apple's Siri personal assistant App, it also sounds exactly like her too!

Siri is powered by a company called Nuance, and although Apple put Siri out to the world with the launch of the iPhone 4S in late 2011, it stands to reason that Nuance may be looking at sharing its technology (by sharing I mean selling) and licensing to other smartphone manufacturers. It's a competitive world, and Research In Motion needs to find a killer feature to stay alive. This new Siri-like integration testing may be the key. Have a look below.
