I'm also really skeptical about the 14 million Brazilian members. I live in Brazil and never heard of this social network. (As opposed to orkut, that was very massive here.) However, I think that orkut is dying here. All my friends migrated to facebook because is "cooler". haha

I wonder how third party apps would interact with Siri.

"What is the music that is playing now?" Shazam and SoundHound would want to be the service provider for this kind of query. How Siri would select which app to use?

Google Translate uses AI. It uses currently translated text to predict translation of strings that you provide.
Even on the iPhone, you can't find the app searching for "color". I followed the link from color.com
