Nope. The dictation doesn't appear to require a connection. Even if it does, I think what likely happened was that apple looked at what Siri is used for and decided that was not something that made sense on a tablet. Think about it, when do you use Siri, when the phone is in your hands, or when it's in your pocket? When you are sitting on the couch or when you are driving a car? > I'm guessing their using this as a first step towards Siri ... testing ... > scaling ... etc. I would not be at all surprised to see Siri remain on the iPhone (maybe iPod touch at some point) and never come to the iPad. -- "Oh my god.
