(I think) Every time you want to ask it something, you have to click or double-tap the home button. But you don't have to click once you stop talking like they were doing in the video.
Got a tip for us?

It would be nice to be able to turn off some of the longer responses.
Siri's preference for long cutsie replies could get pretty annoying.

For example, when I say "mail john smith", I don't want Siri to respond with: "I am ready to send an email to John Smith. What would you like it to say?"
Just say "ready to mail john smith".

Likewise, "I am looking that up for you" is cute the first hundred times, but I'd rather just have "Searching Wolfram" and show me the results.

I like that they made it a little 'fun.' As long as it's actually searching during that time and not just telling me that to be 'cute' and such, than I'm fine with it.
There was a lot of background noise so he wanted it to stop listening immediately. It's just like the old voice control, once you stop, it will try to carry out the command. If it keeps hearing noise, however, it will keep listening.
No??? Are you sure? Android is open source, meaning superior, and there's more phones running Android, meaning superior. So by proxy, Android's voice system HAS to be better.
I'd be interested in a setting to have Siri listening all the time while plugged in to a charger and having a voice command act as holding the home button. So, the classic Star Trek interface of "Computer, <insert question here>", although presumably you'd want to address it as Siri as I can see the word computer coming up a lot in conversation.
Basically, I would use that in the car more than anything, but I could see it being handy at your desk or on the nightstand, too.

I'm being argumentative, of course. On Friday I'll be playing with Siri on my new iPhone. Can't wait.
So mcdonalds is the best food around because it has more restaurants? Your idea is clearly flawed.
I've said in a previous thread imo Siri is a game changer and will take the world by surprise. It's not like any voice recognition we've ever seen. Come on guys, this is Apple, do you really think they would release something as important as this if it was half hearted and not innovative?!
It will get better over time for sure. I understand how people will be shy to talk into their phone like that, but there's so many circumstances when it will still be used. Driving home and being able to send a text is for me a big big exciting factor.

OSX's speech feature can be activated by a keyword, so it's certainly technically feasible...
