Well, the new HTC One M8 Windows Phone 8.1 came out today and I got a chance to try out Cortana.
So how was it? Was it every bit as good as you had hoped for?
Yes and no. She was able to make appointments for me, learn my habits and behaviors, answer all my questions and in general is a terrific assistant. Better than Siri, Google Now or Skyvi.
So that seems like a yes. Why did you say yes and no?
She went through my photos on all my devices, made fun of my contact list, set my alarm to wake me up 30 minutes earlier to go to a Gym because "Your cell phone camera says you need some exercise."
So, more like your mother than your assistant. But you have to admit she is definitely personal.
