| 1238562 | 2011-10-19 09:36:00 | Well, I will answer my own question. Yep. I would love one, but I will probably be unable to afford one. What really attracts me is the AI facility ie Siri. Now that is fantastic. Almost Science Fiction like yet it appears to have become Science Fact. I am sure that is what appeals to virtually all of us. Does any of the other manufacturers of smart phones have the AI facility? None of the paranoia of the "Skynet" - Arnold Schwarzenegger thing please. | Devie Boy (12457) | ||

| 1238565 | 2011-10-19 09:44:00 | Having looked into it further, I am no longer interested. Another wanky gimmick. |

| 1238567 | 2011-10-19 09:50:00 | www.knowyourmobile.com Siri can surprise with its web searching and its ability to pick the most suitable web source for a query. It can be scarily accurate, which is definitely something you could impress people with down the pub. But that's just it: it feels more like a gimmick than a useful extra. Assuming you still want to press on with Siri's voice control, you probably want to know how well it works. Well, all we can say is, the results vary quite dramatically. One member of our team saw great results for punchy emails, another, Siri just totally ignored. We asked our iPhone 4S to email somebody with a few sentences of text. Up to a point, it was all going well but upon reading the message back Siri had inserted a few strange words. It also chose the wrong contact, which was a bit annoying. Siri is supposed to adapt but we didn't see this in action. Words and sentences it struggled with kept giving it trouble, suggesting regional accents will always be a problem for it. For quick messages like, 'Won't be home. Remember to feed the cat' it works fine but if you want to dictate a scientific document and not spend another hour picking out comedy mistakes, the technology just isn't there. |

| 1238570 | 2011-10-19 18:42:00 | Why would I buy an iPhone 4S for Siri when I don't even use the voice recognition on either Windows 7 or Windows Phone 7.5? :p | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1238571 | 2011-10-19 18:52:00 | And with vlingo you can try out voice recognition on existing iPhones, I wouldn't be buying one for that feature alone. | psycik (12851) | ||
