I think it depends on how good is "good enough". Personally, I think as long as tasks are not coding, there would be a ton of "good enough" value in having your own personal Google on a hardware device. I think the company that designs and licenses the architecture that packages the silicon for the largest market share will be the winner in commercializing this product. Wouldn't be surprised if this is part of Apple's roadmap to retaining existing customer loyalty.
