Siri is a very useful tool if what you want to do is get to leave your phone in your pocket on a cold day and still call or text your wife.
In the USA it is actually more useful in that it can search for local businesses – so you can tell Siri I’m hungry and it will find that you somewhere to eat.
Unfortunately in the United Kingdom this feature still hasn’t been enabled so when saying “I’m hungry” or “where am I” Siri just says sorry I can’t find businesses or mapping information where you are.
But Siri does know where I am despite claiming not to because if you ask Siri “what time is it” although he can’t tell you the time in the UK – it can tell you where you are to the exact street address
That raises the question – Apple why not factor in the ability to say to Siri where am I and at the very least show me on a map or tell me the exact street address that you already have gathered thanks to the time information?
It won’t matter soon as iOS 5.1 is rumoured to solve this problem.
