I have a 3G and i'm using Siri just fine. I thinks your statement that Siri is only available for 3gs is incorrect.

In reply to Shobizz3000. Thanks for reading Jeff! Yeah Siri is pretty cool. I never thanked you for referring me to Tweetings... I have been using Tweetie & Tweetings bc I like features from both apps. I wish there was a way to mash them both into one. lol

That's actually a really good question. I would say compared to the other "search apps" I have used, Siri is capable of doing much more. Using Nuance it's better than most search apps right there bc of the voice to text accuracy. Siri does just so much more than the average search app with providing more content & services to keep you from never leaving the app. For me the accuracy & the overall UI make it a sweet package. I guess being free is never a bad thing either.

Ha. Cool Frank. I thought I'd mostly seen Siri described as a 'virtual assistant'. Does it live up to that title, or is it more of just a straight-up search app?
