I bet SIRI isnt perfect either.
I do believe it's Beta.

So you are saying that it will never make a typo?

And you really can't compare it to Vlingo.
I'm sure there will be a damnyousiri.com where they will post super hilarious stuff that Siri does. :biggrin:
Siri as a feature will go either of two ways. 1. It will be a neat tech demo for a while, fade from the spotlight, and finally become part of the accessibility features of iOS. Or 2. It will form a platform and have an API that continually gets better and better. It's knowledge base will grow, and a hundred years from now, you'll be asking Siri to plot a course to Alpha Centauri in your warp capable starship.
No use speculating until we try it.
no doubt some truth in that well-done video<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/FUEG7kQegSA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
of course, you can compare it to anything you want (say, a brick, watermelon, mclaren f1), but whether it's a fair and valid comparison or not remains to be seen.Really? Why cant I?

we have vlingo on our ipad and it works on a rudimentary basis on a number of things ... it can fire up email for dictation, find directions to most *specific* requests i make, tell me what time it is / weather in another city - for what it does (or what *i* know it can do), it's pretty cool - and it was free! (iirc)
i haven't seen much of the siri stuff, but from what i gather it not only understands context, etc, but communicates (listens / speaks) with the operator. my experience with vlingo is context understanding is somewhat limited and it's not yet talking to me, though that's no doubt in it's future.
i think the progress being made in mobile devices is uhmazing and will only improve over time, regardless of the os / device manufacturer.
ditto: i didn't know about vlingo until 4s/siri was compared to vlingo and another tool. i find it handles txt mail pretty well ... no major complaints on those tasks from me.There is no question siri is more advanced than Vlingo.
That being said, the things i was impressed with about siri -- like being able to send a text message from voice, or an email. When I saw that, I didn't know about Vlingo. Turns out you can do all of that stuff right now. And it works very well.
I personally do not care to ask my phone what the weather is like. I can see it on the screen much faster than holding down the start button for 2 seconds.
Ultimately, would I love siri on a BB. Sure. Looks good, but how useful it will be in daily life is still to be seen.
I am sure the fanbois here will argue, but in reality they haven't used it other than watching some videos.

cool and, yepVlings on BB is actually really nice because you can use "VLINGO everywhere", so you just what you want and it types it for you regardless of what app you are in.
I think most of these things will be most useful for hands-free driving, unless you want to look like a tool in public talking to your phone all day.:biggrin:

Anyone put iOS5 on last night?
I put it on my wife phone. None of her apps were there after the upgrade. I had to redownload them all from "the cloud". A few of her apps no longer work right... the only one that mattered was the SunTrust Bank app. Hopefully that is fixed soon. What a pain.
Other than that, the notifications is very nice, but I couldn't tell any difference besides that.
yup, and supposedly it's still beating 1.2 Ghz dual core powered android devices in benchmarks.
