For those who don’t know what SIRI is then you must know that SIRI is the new virtual assistant in The Latest iPhone 4S. It is a voice responsive assistant that reverts to your questions and commands but there is something tricky about it. If You ask SIRI will answer almost everything in the world by using all the possible resources like Wikipedia, Dictionary etc. The there are always problems right ? So is with SIRI, the problem is that it not programmed to answer some questions and it can show inaccurate at times in identifying your voice.
For Example : If You Ask Siri that “Who is SIRI?” then the answer you may get will be “Who Am I is Not Important”. Amusing isn’t it ? But it is true. In a similar way if you aren’t clear in narrating your request then SIRI may respond as ” Sorry You Are Not Speaking English (US)” or it may give you a result which is totally not what you are looking for. It is obvious that Programmer have scope on improving the technology but it is definitely soon to Say that SIRI had out-beaten Android Platforms by At-least Two Years As Mention on Mashable.
Here we got interested about the Question that what how and what is SIRI so researched and found an interesting post on Mashable which reveals how the Origin of Name : SIRI . To Our Surprise SIRI is of an Indian Origin.
“The team put together a shortlist of potential names, but Siri stood out. Siri, a variant of Sigrid, is a Scandinavian and Norwegian girl name that means beautiful or fair victory. The Indian name Siri is associated with Goddess Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity.”
Siri, to those who gave her life, became an amalgam of those meanings; they defined her appellation as, “beautiful woman that leads you to fair victory and wealth.”
Interesting isn’t it ? We hope that SIRI evolves over as the users and platform grows and expands till then let’s hope that all the users cherish having a Virtual Assistant in their Pocket.

Princess Neha : Which One Are You Using?
Youre over complicating the meaning, SIRI was inspired by the HAL9000 algorithm computer from space oddisey. Siri backwards is IRIS, which is what HAL basically was, an eye. Evidence of this is that SIRI has different replies regarding HAL.
Have u thought about getting out more!? :0) x
i have, but everything is sexier online :-p
Am I the only one geeky enough to have figured out the real origins of Siri?
In the pilot of the short-lived 1977 TV series based on the hit 1976 sci-fi film "Logan's Run," fugitive future cop Logan (Gregory Harrison) and Farrah Fawcett lookalike Jessica (Heather Menzies) encounter a mountain city tended by two ROBOT ASSISTANTS, Draco (Keene Curtis) and SIRI (Lina Raymond).
Apple's Siri even mimics Raymond's sultry timbre.
Seriously, I figured there would have been a hundred children of the '70s volunteering this information before me.
