Apple didnt release the original version with those "optimizations". That was a different company. Apple is releasing it now when the CPU power is enough to handle the complete program. Just like Apple didnt include 3g or 4g as early as they could because it was not ready for primetime.
Got a tip for us?

It still doesn't appeal to me. If I can do stuff using it perfectly now BUT I don't then adding more features of the same thing won't make me change my mind.
Personally I don't find it nice, cool or helpful at this point. Nice for people with disabilities but that's about it. Of course we will see now entire starbucks talking to their phones but you know... another fun experience.
I will enter a coffee shop and yell "shut off" and I will see 10 iPhone owners crying
Once Tim Cook demonstrates that the new virtual assistant makes using an iPhone like the Star Trek computer, AAPL will shoot up instantly to $400.
I think as long as we pronounce words properly and don't use our native slang, we'll be fine.
But if ye go'an yer iPhone n' shout, "HAW! Phoane! Ah'm pyoor chokin fur a chippy, so gonnae dae us a solid n' tell us where the nearest wan is, cheers mucker".
PS: quality video.
The multi tasking was an issue. There was a reason I never listed multi tasking on the 3G.
But care to argue the lack of voice controls on 3G or no MMS on the first iPhone.
The lack of a back ground on 3G was pretty bogus as well.
Wait, you're quoting the claims of the founder of the company who unloaded it on Apple, as fact, and stating features of the product, again as fact, although no-one outside of Apple knows what it will do?
You should look up "critical thinking". But then again... don't bother.
Agree that people like to have the best and last but that is only at certain age
Once you past that it's quite awesome to have a phone for 2 years while your contract runs out.
Kids will bitch about everything these days. It's just a rule of thumb
Fact is that still my favorite phone is a year old Desire Z. I just love the way it works, the keys the way I set up my rom.
iP4 used for dev stuff and so will be 4s or whatever comes tomorrow but that's about it.
Oh no, no, no ... trust me, it WASN'T.
As I said, I went to the painful exercise of removing the drop shadow files from the text and app icons and the respring still stuttered embarrassingly, but with them it was horrendous. If they removed all the animations then it would be fine, ala FakeClockUp at x10 like I also mentioned, but stock wallpaper on the iPhone 3G is a huge no-no.
The main problem with voice commands is that it's far less intuitive than a touchscreen interface; you have to make an effort to learn the commands. And let's face it; there's a ton more that we could be doing with the tech we already have if we just sat down with the manuals and really dug into the feature sets.
For voice navigation to really be compelling, it has to have a very small learning curve.

apple always says this "needs" crap to get you to spend $300 on a new phone but fact is in ever case you can run all this carp on a jailbroken iphone with some simple code tweaks..lol Most folks only use facetime BS 5% or less so booo
Forget something like this which could actually be useful, I want a LARGER SCREEN and NEW DESIGN! I'm not interested in something that could end up being a technological break through, I'm too worried about annoying other people in coffee shops! Give me my iPhone 5, not some crappy iPhone 4S that sounds like a completely worthwhile upgrade!
LOL. Of course!
All joking aside, porn has driven several technological products forward, from the original b--b tube (TV) to Internet going mainstream, it was there for you.
Sucks, if they really limit this to the new device.
I can't afford a new phone right now!! Why??
Mortgage, Bills, School, Wife, 11 month old, plus another one on the way = No money for ANYTHING.

so if this AI was so revolutionary why did it not get implemented in desktop computers first? why is it implemented in the devices with the least processing power first?
i guess we will be very underwhelmed with this feature........

I still don't understand how this differs from WP7...
"Call Molly"
Molly Smith or Molly Doe?
"Smith"
Home or mobile?
"Cell"
Calling Molly Smith, Mobile
Of course I could have just said "Call Molly Smith Cell" and saved a lot of needless back-and-forth between me and my phone.
