Two people have negative things to say about Siri and this becomes a Market Current?

What happens when millions of Apple users who like Siri start to chime in?

Better make more space for Market Currents.

Where is Jon Corzine?

Night Train, are you serious? Using the voice recognition is always a nightmare, and unfortunately SIRI isn't any different. I watch the commercials and all of a sudden she pops up with creative music making websites etc. COUGH COUGH BS!

I like the company NUAN a lot, but voice recognition software still is lacking.

I use Siri for text messaging all the time. If you speak slowly and clearly it is amazing and way faster then typing. Written by using Siri.

Why would Steve Jobs have "lost his mind" over Siri? I am sure he was alive when the development of this started. It is the first smart phone with such a gimmick - you do not have to use it.

This is the first negative article I have read about Siri. Everyone I have talked to is glad to have it and fascinated by it. Easy for pundits
to sit back and blast our criticisms without a clue of the technology and future implications.

Somebody ask SIRI what the working conditions are like for the folks at FOXCONN now, Guess what, nothing has changed, keep buying those slave made Apple products...

Polywell Computers if it matters to you...

Do you really think the argument that" you have a computer made at FOXCONN too" lets apple off the hook? Do you hear about the abuse and human slavery on Dells or Toshibas production lines, Nope.

Apple users need to accept the fact that they are supporting the slavery through their purchases and wall street loves a company that has 40 Billion in the bank and we make Steve Jobs a hero?

I use a samsung nexus s which a current top android phone. the siri works better than the andriod equivilent. i have the newest operating system, dual processer and 1 gig of ram. the siri on the iphone 4s is a better dictation tool--more accurrate in a real world environment--with backround noise. i can only really use the dictation features on the android in a very quiet location. the voice commend system does not use natural language and doesn't work well enough to be more than an occasional plaything. I have played with siri and it is substantially better as a usable tool.

voice recognition is improving and will improve more with time....even though I am an android user, I would bet that siri becomes more usable more rapidly than the google equivalent.

gee, johnlocke, i feel for those slaves who are underpaid for what they do as much as the next guy. but, do you apply your "apple standard" to all of your electronics, transportation modes, clothing, food stuffs, housing materials, etc? if you do, i say good for you, you walk the talk. if you don't, i say boohoohoo to you. btw, i have no apple products, but not because some are alleged to be made by slaves.

I expect to see positive growth outside of the average consumer use... I believe that voice recognition applications for the disabled, and the military, will spur that growth.
I can only imagine how useful it would be in the studio... could make my one man operation so much easier when recording drum tracks!

Somebody's not thinking about the application to Apple TV as one example: Imagine saying : "when will there be a rerun of" (missed episode of favorite TV show) or "are there any George Clooney movies on tonight." Replacing all those remotes and channel listings would be awesome. Even "bring up slide show of Spain vacation" from photo albums.
