Yes! Someone ask Siri about BlackBerry!

Here we go again, apple introduces the next greatest thing(very subjective) and every mobile device in the world has to have it(remember facetime?)

How about ******? Reasons are obvious.

Wasn't Skype video calling before Facetime?

[sarcasm]But facetime was the latest and greatest offering from Apple and it was so revolutionary that every mobile device has to have it[/sarcasm]

IF RIM were to spend the time to create a voice assistant, before uninstalling it I would probably hope I could choose different voice packs/name packs like you can on TomTom GPS's

I'd love to have Mr T, as my assistant for a little while, or Apu, or Like a Cali girl, or KITT, or LCARS,

Don't hate apple with a passion, just hate the way they copy everyone else and all of a sudden its the next greatest innovation and if every other mobile manufacturer doesn't have it then its a giant fail.

A name that is set by the owner/user. Or any name that doesn't sound like Siri.

But in the end as long as I don't have to publicly say some stupid name like Siri.

Kind of like Nextel phones whose users have ZERO clue how to use them.

There is a privacy button people. Damn.

I just dont understand why you need to dictate a text to someone, its a bloody phone, if you want to use voice, phone them!!!

I guess it could be handy in the car, "call home" or whatever, but voice dialling has been around for years and works fine, dont see why it needed changing..

On the plus side it'll make gathering office gossip easier as people dictate their dodgy texts (still waiting for the first news story where siri drops someone in it :D)

As for a name?

Isiduy - Im sorry i didnt understand you... bonus points if you can work out the pronunciation ;)

Who is actually dictating anything to Siri in an office setting? Everyone I know uses it in the car, at home, and maybe a little at the gym when your hands aren't free.

I haven't seen one person walking around talking to an iphone 4s in say Target, in line at Starbucks, or in the grocery store.

That's a great idea! I'll ask my sister to do that now :D

Edit to add: I like the idea of allowing you to name your voice assistant. That would be cool!

Keep asking. :P maybe you'll get a different response. Or ask it about RIM, or competitors.

Hahaa! Love Siri's reply! I asked Siri today what she thought about BlackBerry and she just offered a web search!

Why the different replies?

Alfred, so I could pretend I'm Batman...
