Apple iPhone’s Siri integration coming to General Motors vehicles
It has been over a year in the making but Chevrolet has become the first
of nine manufacturers to integrate Apple’s Siri personal voice
assistant into its MyLink infotainment system, with the Spark and Sonic
LTZ and RS to gain the feature next year.
The
new iPhone 4S is official and it features what Apple calls your very
own voice guided assistant called Siri. What it does is that it lets you
talk to it and enables you to carry out tasks on your iPhone. It’s a
very simple app that understands what you say, you mean, and talks back
to you. You can ask Siri to send messages, schedule meetings, make
phone calls, look for places and a whole lot more.
