IPhone's Siri

My neighbor just got the new iphone.  Being a voice user, I was very skeptical that it would work.  Richard handed it to me and asked me to ask it a question.  I asked it a couple things and was very surprised that it understood me.  With the voice software I use, I had to train it.  This thing understood my voice out of the box.  I'm not an Apple fan by any means, but the voice recognition is impressive I have to say.

Now - if her answers are any count.... that's another question.  I'll have to play with it some more to form an opinion on the actual use (other than novelty).  She does know how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

It is obvious that my neighbor is in love with his iphone.  My daughter is in love with her ipod.  I'm telling you, Apple knows how to make people love their products... not just like, appreciate, understand... but love.  Saying anything negative about Apple to an iphoner is touchy ground... because it's love.
