Is that still the case with Siri in the 4S, or does the phone now do the processing? If it was server-side, Siri wouldn't work without a data connection. That might be OK for a third-party app, but I doubt Apple would be happy with it as a core feature. I bet the processing is now done on the phone.

I got the impression from the Apple announcement on Friday that some is done on the handset and some is done server side, so maybe its both?
Yes I believe that it is a bit on both too, at least I got that impression.
anyone who does is an idiot. sorry. But with no guaranteed stock for everyone - there really is no point at all
The big Apple Stores will have plenty of stock.
For example, when the 3G launched, I went into the Regent Street Store three days after and queued for about two hours and they still had plenty.
The other thing is that if they do run out, they usually give out a priority card that means when they have them back in stock, you don't have to queue.
The experience.

LOL.
my ipad 2 buying "experience" consisted of walking into Argos on the day of release and buying one there and then without a queue.
Meanwhile, at the apple store people had queued for 6 hours or more to get theres, and some queued and didn't even get one.
Seriously, the idiots who queue up outside the apple store on launch day are one of the reasons apple customers get such a bad reputation.

I wonder how much bandwidth Siri will rape.
It's probably no more than mono audio at 96kbps. Every minute of speech sent should be less than 500kB.

Well my 3GS was doing my head in at the weekend and I relented and ordered at 64GB iPhone 4S via 3 on their One Plan.
If the 5 comes along before the two years are up I will just sell the 4S, my thinking lead me to believe that the 64GB should hold its money well due to it being the first iphone at the size capacity.
