By the way, Siri is really good at speech recognition, even with my speech defect. It was fun to play with as an app. But starting yesterday it (she?) gave me a "Dear John" (Paul? Ringo? George?) letter saying "I'm moving to Apple 4GS"...So not only did they rob me of the cool phone I was expecting but now they take my app away. :o( It IS a great technology, but not reliable enough to buy or run a $200+ phone for.
