Siri is an intelligent software assistant that Apple developed. It enables you to speak to your iphone to set appointments, get directions, send texts and calls, and finds contacts. Some positives to this would be if you were driving you could just ask your phone for directions, or send text messages without taking your eyes off the road. This is useful because texting and driving is illegal, this is a safe way to send texts if you really need to. It also helps you keep focused on the road and not on the machine. Another good thing about Siri is that it's assessable to people who are vision impaired. This helps because they would be able to use most parts of the iPhone. Some negatives to this software is that it doesn't recognize some voices. If someone has a strong accent it doesn't work. An example is in the video below.
This is an unfortunate disadvantage for people in countries other than Canada, United States, and Britain. Personally I would not buy an iphone 4s. Simply because I don't think being able to talk out commands is that much less time consuming. Especially if it takes more than one try to get it to figure out what you are saying. I think it's easier and much faster to just tap instead of talking to it.
