That doesn't mean you can't use your iPhone keyboard to talk to the Assistant if you'd prefer not to bark at it though, and this summer, it'll also start understanding French, German, Brazilian-Portuguese and Japanese. Support for Italian, Spanish and Korean is also coming before the end of the year.

Update: The app is out now (at least in the US), and you can grab it on iTunes right here.
