Dag Kittlaus, the co-founder of the company thanks to which we have Siri implemented in the iPhone 4S, has left the Apple company according to the AllThingsD. In 2007 Kittlaus became the CEO of the company that developed the Siri system and after the acquisition of the company by Apple he was the one who led the engineering team that implemented Siri in iOS 5. His departure has been planned for some time and apparently it had to do with the fact that his family lives in Chicago and not in California and it seems that the separation took place on amicable terms.
Dag Kittlaus — the co-founder and CEO of the company that created the Siri voice control feature, which Apple launched to much acclaim recently — has left the company, according to sources. There were several reasons for the departure, which was amicable and has been planned for a while, sources said. They included Kittlaus' family being in Chicago, a desire to take time off and an interest in brainstorming new entrepreneurial ideas.
Dag's departure raises some question marks about what Apple has done with Siri for its iDevices, and of course this resignation could have completely different reasons. Within the Apple company, there are more than likely relevant and capable people to replace Dag, but it remains to be seen how Siri will be developed in the future.
