I agree. I really do not care if SIRI knows or can look up trivia crap instead of having real functional capabilities related to controling the device itself. Yes thanks for what they have added though. Of course it all depends on getting a response from server side technology that is pushed as such a great idea. Siri should be able to process at least some things on the device itself. That's something else even windows voice commander could do.
