Hi List,
I looked at Siri on the new I-phone 4 yesterday at my Apple store in Minneapolis. For me who has dexterity and finger issues I thought Siri would be great for me. I have a problem putting enough pressure to perform gestures. Well, when I tried her out I asked if she could check the voice mail for me. She wasn't able to do that. Then I asked her to check how much battery life was left on the phone. She tried to Google that for me. I thought it was awesome when I asked her what the weather was outside and she was able to tell me. I was disappointed that she wasn't able to answer those simple questions or to be able to do the simple commands of checking my voice mail and battery life. I asked the Apple tech person if Siri would be able to navigate through the phone menus and make them work for me. She said "no." I told her that Siri is very cool in some respects, but until Siri can operate and find all the simple functions on the phone, that I wouldn't be interested in purchasing it when my phone contract is up and I can upgrade to a new one. The tech person did tell me that Siri is quite new and that probably other people are voicing to Apple the same complaints that I have with her. I told her that my upgrade for a new phone will be in 2012. I said to her "hopefully by then Siri will be able to do all those simple and necessary functions that people want her to perform like myself." I thanked her for her time and left. Again, for someone who has dexterity issues with wide, fat fingers, even if voice over was on, I have tried an I-Phone like that, I made a lot of mistakes and wouldn't be able to work the phone very well. SO I was disappointed with SIri. Hopefully, down the road she will improve enough where I'll want to purchase an I-phone with her on it and will love it. I thught I'd report to all of you that use I-Phones and thinking about upgrading to the latest version with SIri. Have a great day!
