Windows Phone users may find Apple’s Siri service so awesome that makes the default Bing Voice look like an ancient technology. No more, thanks to the new app called Ask Ziggy.

Available as a free download, it will understand your question (thanks to the Nuance-powered technology) and assist you in areas such as emailing, texting, calling, social network (Facebook and Twitter) updates, and getting directions. In addition, Ask Ziggy is said to be good for mathematical questions, checking flight status and random trivia.

What’s more, when a general question is asked, Ziggy will scrap the web content and match patterns to return relevant result. If such thing is not possible, you’ll get a search bubble with a link to see web search results based on your query.

Love it, though unfortunately not all features are instantly available. The application you can download today from the Windows Phone Marketplace is pretty solid, though an update is waiting for Microsoft’s approval and will be released shortly. You can check out a short video demonstrating some of the Ask Ziggy’s capabilities below. Enjoy! ;)

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
