Apple's Rumored Virtual Assistant Could Outshine The New iPhone

Buzz surrounding Apple's Tuesday event has never been higher, as consumers eagerly await the announcement of the next generation iPhone. But the new hardware could take a back seat to a bigger announcement: A potential voice control software feature that could be released with the latest version of iOS 5.
