+1, kudos to Tom for seeing this through.    (01)

The only downside is that Siri will never see the light of day now on any other 
platform than the most proprietary, locked-down, ecosystem that is Apple - a 
pity, but that's business!    (02)

On a separate point: why is the press so hyped up about this being part of 
Apple's challenge to Google? Where do they suppose Siri - and for that matter, 
a large proportion of Apple apps - get much of their search and mapping data 
from and what do such queries tell Google except even more about every single 
user? Both Apple and Google stand to gain from this and similar acquisitions.    (03)
