disclaimer: I know it's beta. I get that. And I'm not complaining about having siri. I like her. And I know updates will be coming.
But she doesn't really do much yet. And at the keynote, they must've demonstrated every single aspect of Siri. And I would too, I'm not questioning their marketing on that. If a product is incomplete, you gotta show off what works.
But who here is a little disappointed at Siri's present capabilities? Simple things like not being able to read past texts, or any e-mails at all. And having to unlock the phone to hear a text. If I'm driving, the point is to not have to touch your phone. She can't use the stopwatch feature of clock, just alarm. She can't "check" for new incoming e-mails. She can only grab weather for the next 12 hours, but she can display the weather for a week. She can't open up apps.
I don't think they could've done anything differently though. I mean, they wanted to get the 4s out before the holiday season and Siri just wasn't done yet. If they didn't market Siri, they probably wouldn't have sold this many 4s', so I guess it was a good move on their part.
But with speech recognition being around for several decades now and the ability for programs like dragon to do so much more with speech (open programs, etc), seems like a letdown so far.
So, what has disappointed you most about the current state of Siri?
