You know I find the comments about Siri really interesting, but let me stir the
pot here and ask how many really care about Siri? I have to admit that I rarely
use Siri although I certainly appreciate its capabilities. I actually just
started using the dictation feature a bit more and forget to use punctuation,
so I have to remind myself. :) So, just curious how many either really do not
care one way or the other or used it a lot initially and found themselves not
using it so much after a while.

I agree. I really do not care if SIRI knows or can look up trivia crap
instead of having real functional capabilities related to controling
the device itself. Yes thanks for what they have added though. Of
course it all depends on getting a response from server side
technology that is pushed as such a great idea. Siri should be able to
process at least some things on the device itself. That's something
else even windows voice commander could do.

Hi List,
This all sounds pretty good, but a few things I am ondering about are this:
I dial a number or tell SIRI to call somebody and the line is busy. Why
can't I say after a minute or even 10 minutes: Redial" or "Redial my last
call"?
This doesn't work now and I have not heard any examples about this.
Also, I am very curious whether it is finally going to be possible to enter
just a business name in the company field, for example, United Airlines,
and
then to say "Call United Airlines". I do of course imply here that I also
enter the correct phone number for uUnited Airlines, but currently you have
to also enter the company name as the last name (I guess you could do first
name, but I prefer to use last name for sort reasons) in order to make it
possible to voice dial with SIRI.
I'd also hope you can ask something like "Who called me last" and after
SIRI
announces this to say "Call back the last person who called me" or, in the
context of the earlier question simply "Call that number" or "Call them".
And since I am in the complaining mood, if Apple gives SIRI the ability to
open any app why not include things like turning WiFi, Bluetooth or
Airplane
Mode on and off by simply telling SIRI to do so and to give me an answer
when I say "What's the battery level" rather than asking me if I want to
search the web for "What's the battery level". Even my old HTC Windows 6.1
Smartphone with Microsoft Voice Command could do this. OK, I do admit that
I
do not want my HTC back, but who cares about what's playing in the movie
theatre or who directed Toy Story yet I can't ask it the simplest things
about my phone.
Regards,
Sieghard

I use Siri quite a bit. I especially use it to send text messages.
