It's the knock-out feature of the iPhone 4S, and it's set to get tongues wagging around the globe on Friday 14th, but so far little is really known about just how well Siri will work in the real world.

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
BlueStacks today released the first alpha version of its fancy new way of running Android apps on your Windows PC, and if their super-awesome video is anything to go by, it's going to be a winner.
It's a move that's been on the cards for some time now, but Microsoft has finally confirmed the death of the Zune HD, with the company instead set to focus entirely on Windows Phone as their sole mobile and video strategy.
Here's a little tidbit that we just discovered, and it's all about the size of the iPhone's screen. More specifically, it's all about why the iPhone's screen is still 3.5-inches across its diagonal, while most Android, and even Windows Phone 7 (ultimate special super duper series edition 7) handsets are sporting ever increasing screen dimensions.
We're kinda shocked at this, and we can't help but wonder if this is the first sign of change in the Tim Cook years, but Apple and AT&T are apparently in talks to change the 3G icon in the iPhone 4S' status bar to a 4G one.
If you're one of the many that have spent all morning sat hitting the refresh key in a pre-ordering frenzy, chances are you spied one seemingly glaring omission from Apple's online ordering system: there were no unlocked iPhone 4S handsets, at least in the U.S.
With recent events weighing heavily on everyone's minds, discussion has perhaps inevitably moved on to how Apple will fare without its talismanic leader. While Tim Cook will no doubt make for a very capable CEO, can he provide the same insight and eye for a winner as his illustrious predecessor while steering the already massive company to even more impressive results than we have become accustomed to each and every quarter?
If there's one certainty about the release of a new iDevice, it's that Firemint will announce a new, shiny release of the ever-popular racing simulator, Real Racing 2.
Microsoft has been showing off the latest additions to its Xbox 360 gaming system over the last couple of days, and the more they show, the more it appears to be on its way to being less a gaming system, and more an entertainment device.
During Apple's iPhone event, possibly the most awe-inspiring demonstration was that of the new Siri feature which is built into iOS 5 and the iPhone 4S. Siri's features, which offer users the ability to almost have a conversation with the iPhone 4S, will be exclusive to Apple's new smartphone, with all current hardware left out in the cold.
