Siri has even been viewed as threat to Google because it may circumvent traditional search engine queries, thereby cutting into Google's bread-and-butter ad business. Google Chairman Eric Schmidt even admitted that Siri could pose a "competitive threat" to the company, though it was in his own interests to do so, as he was writing to the U.S. Senate's anti-trust subcommittee.
Love it. Bite on that GOOGLE lol
People keep taking Eric's quote out of context. He portrayed Siri as a "threat" at a Congressional hearing where he was trying to prove that Google wasn't a monopoly employing dirty anti-competitive tactics. He cited Siri and Bing as examples of competitive threats to strengthen his position, not to whine about them.
