As TechCrunch points out (http://techcrunch.com/2015/11/27/cortana-for-ios-begins-rolling-out-to-testers/?ncid=rss), the early build is being distributed through TestFlight (https://developer.apple.com/testflight/), a developer-focused service that lets iOS users try applications before their public release. Based on the app's current description, Microsoft is asking testers to set a Cortana reminder on a Windows 10 PC and see how it works with an iPhone, as well as communicate with the virtual assistant (http://www.engadget.com/2015/07/30/cortana-windows-10/) and observe how she responds to queries. Back in August, Cortana also arrived on Android via public beta (http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/24/microsoft-cortana-android-public-beta/), so it's only a matter of time before Microsoft officially releases it on Google and Apple's mobile platforms.
