It will forever remain in beta so Apple can use it as an excuse to how useless and gimped it is.

Too bad they didn't do the same with Maps.

Any thoughts on if Apple will still be slapping the BETA sticker on Siri this fall?

When they released iOS6 Tim made a point of removing the Beta tag.

But truthfully, as a Bêta on iOS5 it was better then any other option out there at the time and the Beta is still better then many system out now.

Not true. If you go to the ios 6 page at click on Siri it still says beta.

I have. It's one of the most frustrating features still.

I love using it to set timers, play music, and look things up. But when it doesn't work, it wastes so much time. They really need to make a few key functions work offline.

Offline stuff is key to making Siri good. Or just copy google now. They have the voice recognition done solidly
