2:32PM We're still waiting for the big info: price and availability. Will this phone hit every carrier?
2:31PM Great?
2:31PM More demonstrations of Siri, including a guy booking meetings while running, Siri warning that he has a conflict. Meeting moved, dude didn't even have to lose his stride. Now you can even work while you're working out.
2:29PM Running down the specs again, new processor, new camera, all on a white background of course.
2:29PM "We're really excited about the iPhone 4S." They've made a video to show it off. Yeah, it's commercial time.
2:29PM Sounds like that's it for the iPhone 4s... Phil is giving us the run-down again. Question is: will we have one more thing?
2:28PM Works for English (US, UK, and Australia) plus French and German. It'll be beta to start, but there'll be more languages and services coming.
2:28PM it works out of the box, but "gets better" as it learns your voice.
2:28PM In other words: data connection most certainly required.
2:27PM Phil is back. There's now a microphone next to the space bar in the keyboard, and you can do dictaction. It's similar to Android, in that it's happening remotely
2:27PM So that's Siri, Scott's off the stage. "And that is the coolest feature of the new iPhone 4S."
2:26PM Scott asks "Who are you?" Siri says "I am a humble personal assistant." Humble for now, maybe. That round of applause might change things.
2:26PM ...searching the web, setting timers, and asking more obscure stuff that gets routed through WolframAlpha. "It is absolutely blow away."
2:25PM You can get a list of example of what you can do, including meetings, emails, directions, weather, stocks, looking up contacts, creating notes...
2:24PM Scott says "Get shopping." Apparently Siri won't do that for you.
2:24PM "How many days are there until Christmas?" Siri says: 82 days. Also, 2 months 21 days, 11 weeks 5 days, 58 weekdays, and .22 years.
2:24PM We'll all be impressed until Siri gets sentient. Then... well, we'll see.
2:23PM Scott's going on a bit here, but we're still impressed.
2:23PM "Define mitosis." Siri hits up WolframAlpha and spits back a definition.
