Coming in second to Siri is in my opinion, not a measure of success or failure. Perhaps Siri measures number one in its respective category but even then it is far from spectacular. I have had every iPhone on or near launch day but I did not upgrade to the 4s and never will. It's a limited improvement on its predecessor.
I am using iphone since the 1st generation except the 4S..reason when it was launched here in Hong Kong..Siri can't work..cant search business..cant tell abt weather..and list goes on..I agree Siri is really powerful..but again for which market ?? only USA ?? that is where Samsung have the upper edge..S3 was just launched in Malaysia on 24th May 2012..and I saw some reviews that out of the box S3 can search businesses..give info abt weather and so on..this is where apple is lacking..Localization is the main ingredient today..a lot of friends of mine from HK didn't buy 4S for the very same reason..because for us SIRI is just an app which sits and do nothing..I am sure I will get some negative feedback's on this..but it is what it is..
P.S. I am still using iphone 4..
I'm suprised in how the iPhone 4S for being like near 1year old its still having better response time than the Samsung Galaxy S3 in which is not on market as today. Samsung SUCKS!!!!!
The power of Siri is not just to answer questions, but rather to remember context. "What is the weather forecast for tomorrow? How about in Tokyo? How about Paris?" "Create an appointment tomorrow at 8:00 am for 1 hour with Peter Rabbit. Change it to 9:00 am." "Who was the fifth president of the United States? How about the sixth?"
