We knew that Cortana for Android was going to be coming to our humble mobile platform sometime in July, but the Beta app has leaked early, and you can all download and try it today. On the face of it, Cortana just looks like Google Now or Siri in a different skin, and for the most part, that is the only difference you’ll see – you can use Cortana to check the weather, see relevant news, check for movies nearby, and all the good stuff that you’d want your personal assistant to track. Cortana also does a pretty good job of interpreting your voice searches, and although it searches Bing rather than Google, comes up with generally good answers and reads them to you.
We’re still trying Cortana out ourselves, but if you’re willing to try it out – note that this is a leaked build and that there may be still issues – you can download it at the link below:
We’re excited to see the level of integration that Cortana will have with Windows 10, and we’re hoping that our Android devices will be able to take advantage of at least a small part of that. What do you think of Cortana for Android? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
