After a brief beta testing period, Microsoft’s Cortana assistant is available for everyone on the
iPhone and
Android phones.</p><p>
Though Cortana lacks the deep operating system hooks of Android’s Google Now and iOS’s Siri, it could still be a useful companion for users of Windows 10 PCs. For instance, you can set time- or location-based reminders from the Windows 10 taskbar, and have those reminders pop up on the phone.</p><p>
