IBM Germany is one of 5 partners that will host BlackBerry BES10 in Europe to make it more affordable and maintenance free for small/medium business and organizations.
This is a possible indication that Apple+IBM partnership in enterprise will steer more to prosumer side than full mayhem big enterprise clients.
There is always a lot between what is said and lying.
5 people on the team have five different takes on the name.
But what is very clear is that they worked for a company called SRI and chose the name SIRI which seems unlikely to be a coincidence

"Once Siri became the leading candidate, everyone on the team had their own favorite explanation of the meaning. Dag Kittlaus, our Norwegian-American CEO, once considered using Siri as the name of his child and liked the Norse meaning beautiful woman who leads you to victory. For me, Siri, which means secret in Swahili, was a tip of the hat to our pre-named days when we began as stealth-company.com. I also liked the fact that it was the reverse of Iris, a software system I helped build as part of the CALO project which Siri spun out of. Some liked the resemblance to SRI, which was the research institute that ran the CALO project. We knew about Siri = beauty in Sinhalese, but missed that SHIRI = butt in Japanese (theyre not the same word, but closely pronounced )"
