Andy Rubin doesn’t think phones should be an “assistant”:
“I don’t believe that your phone should be an assistant,” the Android chief said in an interview on Wednesday just after appearing on stage at AsiaD. “Your phone is a tool for communicating. You shouldn’t be communicating with the phone; you should be communicating with somebody on the other side of the phone.”
Odd, considering Android’s voice actions aren’t very different in the sense he’s talking about.
