OK. I think the menu is now better looking, and set up to be reasonably functional once any of the choices actually work. stcc.be
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

tiggy- OK. I don't know if/when I'll be ready to buy, so don't hang onto it on my account, but I'll check with you should the time come.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you have a rooted device, there's a new Swype out that seems to be quite sweet. Tempting...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
My Swype has been in Spanish since the last update! I thought it was cute for a while and left it. Then I finally changed it back but the interface is still in Spanish. It wants to know if I want to agregar my words to the diccionario.

So who has the 4S? I'm curious about the utility of Siri. I want to wrap my head around the paradigm they're trying to introduce above and beyond mere voice commands and snarky answers.
Apparently some Android developers went off and wrote Iris, but I don't see the point. It's pretty impressive that they wrote it in a day, but so far Voice Actions has provided me with more information, and the voice dialer more utility.

I've got a 4S and I'm finding Siri very good, I also feel like I'm just scratching the surface. I've used it in my car to have it read and respond to text messages. It's awesome for setting alarms while I'm on the road, I just reach over, hit one button and say "Wake me up at 7:30 tomorrow morning" and I've got an alarm set. I've also started using it to schedule meetings. Setting one for tomorrow was as easy as saying "I'm meeting with Susan tomorrow morning at 10:30"

I loved Siri on my Iphone 4 before the service was taken away from us!

I've used voice activation before, my last two cars have had voice control, and the big difference with Siri is that you aren't forced to work within a rigid syntax to get it to work. So far it seems very flexible in parsing a simple sentence and turning it into useful data to be acted upon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've barely used Siri, but the little I've tried is pretty slick. Training me to think to use it seems like the biggest hurdle. Actually using it is so very easy.
Eta it's the natural language that seems like the big breakthrough.

Yeah, the commands you're using, Noise, seem really cool and natural. Pretty sure no one has gotten there for Android yet.
What's the rationale behind taking it away from existing users? Apart from being big meanie pants, that is.
