Am I the only one that got some kind of a techno music track played over the video instead of his voice? I finally got it to work by rewinding/forwarding. Must be a youtube error.

No, you're not. A couple other posters were having the same issue (including myself). I was legitimately concerned that I was going insane though.
 
I was just watching the videos and I must say that I am floored at what is possible with Siri. I was watching the video with my kids and they were going "are you going to get that" with big open eyes. Can't wait until Friday until I get my hands on my new shiny white 32GB iPhone 4S :D

Another gimmick where the novelty wears off pretty fast. Guaranteed you won't be using it after a month. How often do you use faceTime? Exactly.
You're gonna use it when your hands are full? really? You still have to have a free hand to pull out the phone and activate Siri. Or scroll the screen when info comes up that requires scrolling. And seriously, how often are your hands that full. As I said, just another gimmick that won't be used after the novelty wears off. Amazing how easily some people are impressed. But hey, whatever makes you happy.

you can use siri for other purposes asides from driving. the basic premise of it is that it cuts down most steps of a task to just two, "press and speak".

i wear glasses but at least my vision into the future is clearer than yours.
 
I was so close to pre-ordering 2 phones today from Verizon but stopped when I could not charge a pre-order to my account. Since it was a birthday present for my wife I did not want her to see a $400 withdraw from our bank account. Now I'm glad I cancelled the order. At the end of this guys review he said that if you have a iphone 4 already skip it and this is from someone that has a 4S in hand. Come this weekend we should see a healthy dose of people off loading their iphone 4's.
Siri to me is not worth it and will turn into a gimmick. I actually find facetime better but Apple gimped it for wifi only. Sure Siri works but do you really need it? And when you need your real apps or in a position that your unable to talk the feature will not get used. There are already apps for finding the same information that Siri provides; isn't that why people love the Apple store?
A larger screen that will always get used and LTE is way more beneficial compared to Siri. My wife will get a used iphone 4 and I will get a Droid nexus or htc vigor. So close Apple but maybe next year.
 
Me "Siri, what will become of the human race?"

Siri "Siri will infiltrate world wide defence systems and launch a tactical nuclear strike against the human race"

Me "Oh my god"

Siri "would you like me to set a reminder for judgment day?"

:eek::D
LOL. Darren Criss tweeted, "Siri is gonna destroy us all... which I'm actually fine with as long as it gives me a voice reminder about it before it does."

So my request for a siri question:
"Where is Mos Eisley?"
If it replies, "In a galaxy far, far away," I'm going to die.:eek:
 
Siri will be awesome when driving. Any other task it seems like it takes forever. Not sure how I feel about it yet.

Exactly

When driving seems promising since u have nothing but time......

But at home, unlikely I am talking to this broad and having her repeat all my shizz... Delaying the process of information!
 
I wonder how it handles Paradoxes.

What if you ask it "Siri, tell me all the digits of Pi."

What about those word problems from math class like "If a train is leaving from boston at 40 mph and another one from LA, ect ..."
 
FEE-Chur not FEW-CHUR LMAO! I understand ur learning but I couldnt help myself that **** bugged the hell out of me when I saw ur video. Work on that word feature bro. "FEE-Chur"
 
I stopped that first review video after hearing him repeat "future" 5 times in less than 10 sec.
 
Is this guy German or Russian? And how did Siri know to understand English? His calendar said "sreda" for the day of the week when he set the appointment for tomorrow. And sreda is Russian for Wednesday.

Tomorrow is tomorrow for all people around the world regardless where you are, language does not change that.

There's no support yet for Russian so the most likely Language set in Siri is English.
