Microsoft will most likely release Cortana when it will be ready to offer the final version of Windows 10, as well.Android users might have noticed that Microsoft has quite a few apps for their operating system. But we’ll have to wait and see what is going to be the reaction of the market. Microsoft could either win or lose, because I don’t think an iPad user will stop using Cortana if it will prove to be more accurate than Siri. iOS and Android users will now be able to compare the accuracy of all three personal assistant, and that’s going to be the ultimate test for all three companies. This is a risky move, but it seems that Microsoft feels Cortana’s database is rich enough to directly compete against Siri and Google Now. iOS and Android users will be able to install Cortana from the Google Play or Apple App Stores by using a new Phone Companion app on their Windows 10 PCs. The Cortana app for iPhones and Android phones will allow users to perform such as actions as setting reminders, tracking flights, getting weather information and more. There’s a lot of work being done at Microsoft, and it’s great to see that most of these new features, services and products put the consumer in the first place.Īs it was pretty much expected, Microsoft is bringing Cortana to Android phones and iPhones, iPad in the form of an app.

This news follows yesterday’s report which was suggesting that the company is also working on Office Now, a work-assistant app that would also be available on all major platforms. So, it’s no surprise that Microsoft has just announced that it’s going to bring Cortana to iOS and Android users, just as it was expected. Perhaps two of the most ‘shocking’ announcement from them was making Microsoft Office free for devices less than 10-inches and also making Windows 10 free even for those with pirated versions.

After Satya Nadella has been appointed as Microsoft’s CEO, we’ve seen the company take a totally different approach, especially towards its cross-platform users.
