You know I find the comments about Siri really interesting, but let me stir the pot here and ask how many really care about Siri? I have to admit that I rarely use Siri although I certainly appreciate its capabilities. I actually just started using the dictation feature a bit more and forget to use punctuation, so I have to remind myself. :) So, just curious how many either really do not care one way or the other or used it a lot initially and found themselves not using it so much after a while.
