A long time ago for the Samsung has a reputation for sneaking malicious “spisyvalschika” which always convict the time to peep in a notebook honors. In the role of honors we have, of course, Apple. I think every reader of the move will call several cases of outright copying and plagiarism. But this time, Samsung has gone one step further: it works a former engineer at Apple.
Moreover, now the South Korean company wants to set up some sort of Siri . The project is truly grand.

During the presentation it was emphasized time and again that this is just a simple example of the use of new technology. Apparently, Samsung will continue to work, trying to expand the scope and completeness of features SAMI. In addition, unlike Siri, working exclusively on products from the company Apple, plans to introduce support of as many portable devices, regardless of manufacturer.
It will be interesting to follow what the outcome of another undertaking by Samsung. There is a high probability that a lawsuit.
