Again, that's because Siri knows the word Read.

Re: Few iOS 6 usage notes
Thank you Jonathan, I wondered why I heard notifications sound and spoken despite do not disturb being on thanks to a schedule I have set. On 19/09/2012 22:18, Jonathan Mosen wrote: Joseph, the quickest way to launch an app is to simply say its name. For example, do a long press of the home button and say "downcast" to open the downcast app. Switch to, launch and open are there for natural language purposes, but they're not necessary. Whether the app is opened or switched to will depend on iOS's own memory management. Also one thing to note about do not disturb, is that there is a VoiceOver bug which means that if you elect to have notifications in the lock screen spoken automatically, do not disturb will continue to speak notifications when it shouldn't. The work-around is to disable the automatic speaking of notifications in VoiceOver settings.

RE: Few iOS 6 usage notes
Oh and forgot to say, an MLB update just came out with Passbook support for some parks. Passbook is a way of storing boarding passes, loyalty cards etc and it's location sensitive. So for example if an airline you fly with supports it, when you get to the airport the boarding pass may appear on your lock screen. When walking past a store you've authorised to get Passbook data from, you may get a notification offering you a special. It can also be dynamic, so if there's a gate change, you can be alerted about that. Will be interesting to see how much take-up there is, since it's proprietary to Apple.

RE: Few iOS 6 usage notes
Joseph, the quickest way to launch an app is to simply say its name. For example, do a long press of the home button and say "downcast" to open the downcast app. Switch to, launch and open are there for natural language purposes, but they're not necessary. Whether the app is opened or switched to will depend on iOS's own memory management. Also one thing to note about do not disturb, is that there is a VoiceOver bug which means that if you elect to have notifications in the lock screen spoken automatically, do not disturb will continue to speak notifications when it shouldn't. The work-around is to disable the automatic speaking of notifications in VoiceOver settings.
