Siri. Coming to iPad tomorrow?

Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (Apple WWDC 2012), the annual California gathering where the Cupertino, Calif., company unveils its new products and services to developers and beaming fans is set for Monday. Among the Apple rumors now circulating are new software updates (most notably the unveiling of iOS 6 the mobile operating system that runs in iPhones, and iPads as well as OS X Mountain) and the still unconfirmed unveiling of iPhone 5.

Apple is also rumored to announce its own map service, in order to use it as a default on its devices (so far, the default map service is Google Maps).

There is much talk that Siri will debut on the iPad as well tomorrow. Whether this comes as an update tomorrow or in iOS6 is still yet to be seen but many analysts are saying tomorrow could be the big day.

This could represent a problem for Google as iOS users make about 40% of Google Map users. The potential announcement could unleash a "map wars" between the two tech giants as Apple, who so far has relied on Google, started flaunting state of the art new mapping capabilities while Google also unveiled some improvements to Google Maps (which, coincidentally, the company showcased using only its Android phones).
