Siri Reportedly Coming to iPad with iOS 6

Apple doesn't announce or design based on what the other boys are doing. They don't really care about the other teams.
They will announce whatever they do based on one thing and one thing alone. If the developer kit is being released. Because they know that everything in that kit will be leaked and Apple hates others announcing things before them. so they will announce what is in the kit before they give it out. If it's not in the kit, it won't be announced. Software or hardware.
well, i dont look at my comments 24/7 since 2007
and iOS HAS lots of wasted space. the lockscreen has nothing but the time and slide to unlock, seriously still in 2012?
not even the weather? how hard could it be to at least show the daily calendar events on the lockscreen.
the notification center looks so silly on the iPad cuz there is nothing to display. hopefully iOS6 lets devs add their own widgets to the notification center.
also no status bar icons like a mute icon or new mail icon etc.
apple needs to tweak the UI at least a little ... all they do is add "apps" like reminder and call it "amazing". if i want another random app, i could just buy one at the app store. there are hundreds of those
thank god for a jailbreak
ANYWAY this thread is about Siri on the iPad so whatever.
Bingo. That's exactly why they did it. Otherwise they would have to have brought in millions of folks or bought millions of voice samples to even get started with it.
as for a year being enough time, perhaps once Siri is world wide. But at this point they're barely started even just with English. Think more like another 2-3 years before the Beta comes off and the system really works.

Yep.
And make no mistake. As much as Apple wants and needs this system out there (and yes using dictation does help to improve the system) they don't want it out there too much. Server overload is already horrid with just the 4s and iPad 3. If they opened it up to the 4 and iPad 2 it just gets worse, especially when the iPhone 6th Gen comes into play. it's easier for them to look future only than look back and it puts something of a cap on the stress on the system.
People looking forward to see it on the iPad 2 are ignorant AND dumb.
Ignorant because they don't seem to know that Apple strategy, be it only the fact that they didn't release Siri with the "New" iPad when they could've perfectly, consist in releasing new update only for the newest product so you buy it, even if it would work on old models.
Dumb because, in 2012 who hasn't effin' heard about jailbreaking which will probably allow you easily to use Siri on the iPad 2, and more ?

That's not an iOS issue. that's the printer side of the game. Not much Apple can do there.

They didn't do it for the iPhone 4th Gen or the iPad 2nd Gen is it is very unlikely they would it it for the iPod Touch 4th Gen. Especially when a 5th Gen could be coming out with the iOS 6. IF Siri comes to an iPod Touch that is the only one that will get it. And I for one won't be shocked when it is just Dictation same as the iPad (for the same reasons of lack of constant internet access)
I don't know what language you speak, but SIRI understands my Dutch accented English perfectly. I think it is a great functionality.
I think so too. I'd be more hopeful if the iPad 2 also got the dictation feature, but as we all know it didn't.
Siri Reportedly Coming to iPad with iOS 6
I really don't see why they waited for iOS 6
This could have been done way before.

Ooh, that would be unfortunate if that does happen. but remember how the first iPad didn't get the multitouch support when the ipad 2 had it? Then
updated it so the ipad 1 can have the multi-touch toggle to turn it on or off. I'm hoping that can be the case if the iPad 2 don't get siri right away. ehh, all we can do is speculate until
release ios 6. but please Apple, please add siri to ipad2 as well!
Totally agree. Setting up appointments, reminders, text messages and quick math all while driving and not being pulled over by the cops (or worse, crashing), sure is "the sucks"

it's their marketing strategy to get the most sales. They probably have all these releases planned out.
Just think about it for a sec, if they release it for the ios 5, then there's no point in buying the ipad 3 and or the iphone 4s in the consumer point of view. daily consumers can care less about the hardware upgrades (obvious daily consumer does not equal to mac rumour people and people who knows more about tech) , they are in for the features. If they release all the features, what's the point of upgrading?
I couldnt of had said it better myself. It all makes complete sense. You either care about hardware or features. People on here are all about the hardware in combination with software. But for the average Apple user, new features are far more important than an internal change most wont ever notice
Seriously? Users need reasons to move to 6.0.
The same marketing as the 1st Gen iPad having no camera.
Want Siri on an iPad? Gen 3. Apple has always marketed this way.
Like it or hate it it works for Apple.

to be honest siri seems to distract more than actually typing while driving

That would sound equally canned and mechanical (possibly more so) because you would still lose the flow, inflection, etc.
marketing strategy
and this benefits who financially? customer or company. I think Apple's marketing strategy could be more beneficial to the customer and yet still allowing them to operate at a profit.

Funny how that works for you, but not for me. It's why Siri is terrible for me.
Glad it works for you, but for many many folks... it simply doesn't.

nope ipad 3 is faster and supports more graphics effects n games like nOVA due to more ram and it has 4Xs the resolution of the ipad 2 which is blurry in comparison and the camera on ipad3 is much much better
Well I'm sure they are upgrading it. And I think Tim Cook has made some changesn But when Siri comes to thenipad I think it will be in fine shape
Now that they've sold enough iPhone4S(s) they should just introduce Siri to every iPhone model.
