But Apple thought of it before Microsoft.
Irrelevant. I keep hearing from iFanboys that all that matters is who gets the best implementation to market. TellMe is the best speech interface hands down. Apple just knows how to copy other people's inventions.
Quite true, but you know the fanboys will turn it around and say Microsoft copied Apple. Check out this 40 second clip of Steve talking about copying and stealing. The fanboys don't like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW0DUg63lqU
Of course they don't. Their god Steve admits to being a thief, but they pretend that video never happened...

but you're taking it out of context...
Thanks for making this video (I, for one, can wait until Tuesday for the details).
One question: what song is playing in the background?
Update:
Actually Shazam answered the question (demonstrating a different sort of voice recognition?):
Take What You Take by Lily Allen (2006) from "Alright, Still" album.

They think it's ok if Steve or Apple steals, but they lead the lynch mob against any company that makes a rectangular phone or tablet. They are quite a biased bunch, to say the least.
I've used the Siri app, and found the voice recognition to be surprisingly accurate. I'd usually use it when driving if I needed to look something up or get directions somewhere, and I imagine that's where the assistant would get the majority of its use from me as well.
I tried dragon dictation too, thought that'd be good for replying to texts while driving, but found that once you spoke, you had to select "send as text" or whatever and then manually select the recipient as well. The ability to have that all voice controlled as well is AWESOME.
And here's to hoping that it gets voice controlled song selection right. To date, I don't think the current voice control has ever correctly selected an artist that I've said. I could see myself using that a lot if it worked.

car integration
if this will effectively integrate with a car bluetooth system, it would rule the auto market too.

Wait, you're calling something that you legally need to talk and drive in an ever growing number of places a fad?

If it is a rendering of an iPhone why does it have the 'Music' icon? Isn't that for iPod Touch?
-Understood! Thanks for the info f00f!
Well since iPod classic (original iPod) is going away now it doesn't make sense to have an icon of something Apple doesnt make anymore. Making Music and Video app becomes little bit easier to understand.
Even if iPod touch becomes just "iPod" iPhone's icon still looks like original iPod. So that's why.

Holy balls that would be awesome! That would totally alleviate all disappointment if the new iPhone is a 4S and not the fabled 5.

I'm sure it'll be pretty cool, but for me this isn't a "must-have" feature. There are already apps that do this and I've never used them for very long. (Yes, this will be built into the OS and probably work a lot better, but the concept is the same.)

I see where this is going.
KILL STEVE JOBS BEFORE HE DIES !
But in all seriousness, we all disagree to agree.
And who care if Apple copied Microsoft. It's a stupid idea to begin with and nobody will ever use it.
Unless you, your words and communications are so pointless that having everyone hear them is no big whoop.
And we know that description is totally inadequate to describe an iPhone user
People are getting integrated car systems now.
I AM saying that headset usage has gone down from embarrassment, as it should
Sure, other people have done this first. And who cares it speech recognition is in WP 7.5. Have any of you used the speech recognition in a Ford car? It is absolutely awful. Do you know who it is made by? Microsoft.
If Apple is going to do this, it will work extremely well. I haven't had any problems with the current speech recognition. I use it all the time to call people.
