Justin Timberlake in german is Tim Malek? Wtf?
I get it that YMMV, but these examples work 99.9% of the time just fine, even with headphones and walking in busy Manhattan traffic.
There is a lot of FUD in this thread.
By the way, the integration with Wolfram is fantastic.
They kept it off the iPhone 4 ?? I don't know why they limited it to 4S and 5.
I am still a bit flabbergasted that Maps doesn't provide turn-by-turn directions on the iPhone 4.
Google Maps does. It's not the hardware, the iPhone 4 is up to it... it was a seemingly arbitrary decision.

yeah, it simply does not work. i can't *mix* languages. i can't us a german command for playing an english named and pronounced artist: the german command "spiele etwas von 'the alpha snail'" results in "ich sehe nichts von "wieder fußnägel" in deiner musik" (roughly translates to "i can't see 'toenails again' in your music"). ridiculous!
how is it with you english speaking folks? how does siri behave when you try to play a french, spanish, italian or german named/pronounced artist? does it work?
In hope that you would prematurely upgrade your phone... I can think of no other reason.
Agreed. Even ignoring accuracy, Siri is incredibly slow when compared to Google, even when only considering dictation.I used to like Siri until I tried Google's voice search in their latest iOS and Chrome (OSX) versions. It is so much faster than Siri and much more accurate. Apple/Nuance has a lot of catching up to do. Hopefully when iOS 7 comes out it will at least be on par.
Minor updates, the fact remains Siri is mostly useless and FAR behind its primary competitor.
Neeeeexxt...

I call BS. A search for Chipotle in NY yields good results all over Manhattan.
Far behind? Other than the voice, I find Siri to be far more useful than Google now; even if my use of it is limited to calling, texting, setting reminders and alarms, playing music and looking up nearby restaurants/theaters.
Try it again -- it's got noticeably better at recognising my voice since I first used it. (the voice interpretation is handled on Apple's servers, so as more people have used Siri, they've been able to incrementally improve it)Siri has horrible voice recognition and its features are really limited. Could be better, but not even useful. I turned it off right when I got my iPhone 5.
Great, Siri and iOS Maps will be able to direct me to a Chipotle in the middle of the Hudson river with my cars navigation.
I don't know.. You can prevent going towards water but when Google Naps takes me miles the other way I'm supposed to go, I do tend to be pissed.
99%? Maybe in the US, everywhere else its more realistically 40%. Quick example - I'm in North London, United Kingdom. I have an Asda Walmart about 5 miles away. Here's what Siri said just now:

Words fail me. How the hell did it decide that it wanted to look in Texas?!
Can Siri give me a foods nutrition values? No? Google can? Siri falls further and further behind.
Man, I wish Google Naps was a thing.
er, yes, yes it can. ask siri how many calories a donut has and Wolfram returns a complete nutritional data card.

Ummmm... When I asked "Play a song by Justin Timberlake", Siri understood me perfectly-- even though I have no songs by Justin Timberlake. Perhaps you really did ask for Charleston Tim Malek?

Umm, thanks for your...whatever that was?If the letter M and N were far apart this would be funny.
