Talk to the PHONE- SIRI

Talk to the PHONE- SIRI

Feeling lonely? no one to talk to? Well, you can always talk to.. your PHONE – if, you can spend a small fortune on it, that is.That’s right, the new iPhone 4S has an inbuilt voice recognition assistant called SIRI. Apparently, SIRI (a female by her tone) understands everything you say to her (English) and she is the first VRS of her kind that’s ‘not RACIST’. This implies that she can understand a desi English dialect as well as you can understand a british accent?

But before you go out looking for that hot female assistant’s voice, you need to consider the following:

1. The price tag is 74k PKR to start with. That’s a LOT of money to spend on a laptop, let alone a smartphone.

2. SIRI does not talk to people who don’t have internet access on their phone – that’s right, you need to be connected to the internet 24/7 for SIRI to function.

3. Steve Jobs died last year, don’t expect him to give you support/patches for this one ;)

All in all, it’s a good collector’s item, being a revolution in human/electronic device interfacing. But it’s not your everyday phone, especially if you don’t have a good GPRS (phone based internet) provider on your SIM. The price tag is useless without the voice recognition, which doesn’t work without the internet. Duh!
