I think when they say beta they mean it's not feature complete, but what Siri currently offers will work as intended.
So I'm not allowed to post about the issues that I have? I'm only allowed to post good things that you want to hear? Why's that? It's not like what I've posted is unreasonable. The things I have posted are legitimate and have merit. If you don't like it, nobody is forcing you to read it nor respond to it.
As you get to know the Apple community better, you'll notice Apple usually gets a pass on anything that doesn't "Just Work".
Hypocrisy is alive and well in this arena
You'll get used to it, then if you have a good sense of humor you'll find it rather humorous. There's lots of fun reading how the various users justify and rationalize Apple screw ups. They're quite creative in their defense of the almighty Apple.
Also, I believe the reason Apple labelled Siri as being "BETA" - so that Apple lets the general public know that the product is indeed... BETA, and beta does in tale having bugs, flaws, issues... but for the most part, workable.
Plus.. if Apple released it labelled as a 'stable version' and had lots of bugs/flaws... then it would just give more wind to those who like to b*tch.
Do the TV commercials state that it is Beta?
The TV commercials show it has Siri, why does the commercial have to say beta? The commercial doesn't say that the say the speed of the processor it just says it has an A5 dual core.
I just watched a commercial on youtube and it didn't even mention the name siri....just showed it in use and say "say hello to the most amazing iphone yet"
Fairly obvious in the context of this thread. I'll let you try and figure it out.
You didn't even watch that video, did you?
Why is it when anyone has an issue with the way Siri works, the response they receive is "it's a Beta"? Why does Apple get a pass for releasing Beta software and then touting it as their main selling point? If this happened on another platform like Android, the people here would have skewered them, saying that they just threw something out there, or that once again an incomplete product was rushed out, or that it "lacks polish". While is Apple allowed to release products that aren't finished (even though they use it as a major selling point)? Why does apple get a free pass here?
