No Siri Maps and Directions in UK

[OJcamden]

Just looking at the apple siri page...

http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/siri.html

If you look at the last siri demo "ask siri about siri" it shows that maps and directions are "US only". Anyone else a little disappointed? Am sure Apple will add UK and other places later but would have been nice if we had got this function from the start. Will still be getting a iPhone 4s though!

That's why they call it a beta, so they can just add stuff as they go along I guess. I'm not too bothered, I'm not sure how much I will use it anyway yet.

Well I for one use my free sat nav app anyway for directions

Perhaps Siri has problems recognising "how do I get home" with an English accent when your drunk.

A Brummie trying to get a cup of tea might end up with this...

^^ Haha. Yes. I live in Dudley and I fear Siri won't work for 99% of the population here.

Ordering a tie might get you a toy. I have taken someone shopping and they needed to buy a tie, they were confused when I took them to Toys 'r' Us in Oldbury, they did asks me to take them to a "toy shop".




Might work with me being a posh git and not from the area.

You don't often hear posh and Dudley used together.

I'm Black Country born and bred so I'd expect Siri to crash if I asked it a question.

Likewise... although now living in Brum. Got no chance!

Siri - "I dow know but it's a bit black over Bill's mother's"

Not at all interested in Siri, another US gimmick along with Facetime ( which i've never used )

It'll be fun to let my daughter text her mother simply by talking to my iPhone though, that'll be cute.

There's GOT to be an Enoch and Eli joke about Siri, surely!
