Hi all,
In general I use Siri to do exactly what Nicky probably doesn't agree with,
that is, to dictate quick text messages, set alarms, and to perform quick
currency conversions.
What I've found is that I no longer need to carry a bluetooth keyboard with me.
I can speak a text and whatever bits Siri gets a little wrong I can easily
correct on the touch screen. I appreciate that not everyone wants to speak text
messages when they are out and about, but for me I have to say the technology
has been surprisingly accurate.
The short audio review I posted can be found here.

Regards, and enjoy!
Stuart.
