iOS 6からiPadにもSiri?

「iOS 6からiPadにもSiriが搭載！？」

アメリカのあるサイト情報では、秋にUpdateされる次期iOS6にてiPadユーザお待ちかねのSiri対応するとのこと。アップルは第2世代と第3世代 iPadにて既にテストを開始しており実現には問題なさそう。。。但し、肝心のSiriを処理するサーバが高負荷状況であり部分的（ipad3のみ！？）にリリースされることも考えられる。詳細情報は来週開催されるWWDCで紹介されるとのこと。


初代iPadユーザの私としては、ぜんぜん喜ばしくない情報でしたが、参考までに紹介します。

Come this fall, people will start talking to their iPads. Apple’s breakthrough Siri Assistant, based on an incredible artificial-intelligence system, will no longer be exclusive to users of the popular iPhone 4S. According to trusted sources, one of the tentpole iOS 6 features is Siri support on the iPad. Not just the Voice Dictation brought to the iPad with the third-generation models and iOS 5.1, but the complete Siri voice assistant.

　Apple has been testing iOS 6′s Siri for iPad feature on both the current generation iPad (third generation), and last year’s iPad 2. It is unconfirmed, however, if Siri for iPad will actually launch as an exclusive to the latest Retina Display model, but multiple sources say that this is likely the case. One reason that Siri launched exclusively on the iPhone 4S is because Apple believed that a single iPhone model would allow the Siri servers and functionality to grow at a scalable pace. Solely adding the feature to the less-than-three-month old new iPad would maintain this pattern of scaling, versus also jumping to the many more existing iPad 2 units.
