I'm sorry Dave. I can't do that.
ZOOKD doesn't flow off the tongue like HAL did.

It was gazpacho. Not just any tomato soup... It was Samuel L. Jacksons gazpacho.
They could have returned the unit. But they didn't.
It's a cool feature with A LOT of potential, and I know it is still technically in beta, but it's just not quite "there" to be the major selling point of a device.

Apple has filed a motion to dismiss in a case filed by customers over alleged misleading advertising depicting the Siri technology in the iPhone 4S. The lawsuit, filed in March, alleges that Apple's advertising of Siri doesn't reflect real-world usage. When asked for directions or to locate a store, "Siri either did not understand what Plaintiff was asking, or, after a very long wait time, responded with the wrong answer."

In a motion to dismiss (via Scribd), Apple attempts to shoot down the Plaintiff's arguments, reports the Wall Street Journal:
Apple continues to heavily advertise Siri and the iPhone 4S. The two latest ads for the product feature celebrities Samuel L. Jackson and Zooey Deschanel using Siri to plan date night and to get tomato soup delivered.

Ditto. I have friends with thick Boston, New Jersey and Southy Chicago accents and I can't understand half the crap that comes out of their potholes - how do you expect SIRI to understand these nut bags?
I use Siri and like it. However, it's response time nowhere near as fast nor as accurate as what is portrayed in those ads.
I would agree with this sentiment were it not for the fact that it's the flagship feature, the killer app, of the iPhone 4S.
Yes, it's amazing how well it works. It's much better than the old voice control. It's nowhere near polished enough to be the main selling point (given Apple's reputation and all... were it from any other company I'd dismiss it as typical crap from a consumer company, but this is Apple, who I've come to expect a lot more from. I'm amazed they let it out of their labs.)
I was sorely tempted to return it and resume using my 3GS. It was mostly features introduced with the iPhone 4 that made me ultimately decide it was worth the price and I didn't want a refund and to return to the 3GS.
The NBA isn't saying you can dunk if you watch NBA games though. A more fitting analogy would be to say you'll sue Bowflex because you can't get as ripped as the people in their ads.I'm going to sue the NBA because I can't dunk a basketball like they show in their games.
