I happen to use Siri as I will do anything not to have to use the screen. If it wasn't for the Bluetooth keyboard I wouldn't even have an iPhone! I can find apps and stuff on the screen but other than that it's totally Siri, keyboard or dictation for me. Hope no one flames me for that. I love the iPhone and it meets my electronically challenged needs.

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. > > On Sep 15, 2012, at 4:34 AM, James Mannion <mannion...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I agree.
