Stuart,I'm curious to know can you for example using Siri check for the next bus or train time[s] due for example, dublin?
Good explanation of the product on Audioview but everything couldn't be covered there that's for sure.

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. http://boo.fm/b525155 Regards, and enjoy! Stuart. -----Original Message-----From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of GERARD SHANAHAN
