i laughed that the first two things he mentioned are my two favorite things about android. lately i've come to miss the option of sending certain numbers straight to voicemail. a couple of numbers in particular call every day and the annoyance factor rises.

I have only used the voice recognition once on an Android and I was surprised at how well it worked. When Siri came out, I thought that it was kind of like way ahead of the game, by more than just two months.... For some reason, I thought Wozniak pretty much was off of the Apple scene. I was under the impression that Jobs just ousted him and Wozniak hated him for that, guess I learn new things about Apple history everyday

JDOG you should read the Jobs book it explains the relationship between Woz and Jobs quite a bit.

Yeah I think the network is why Siri is only on the 4s ....they can't support ipad2 and iphone 4 as well because the system would be down even more than it already is.

TR with calls going directly to VM...I use google voice to give out my number usually...but that hasn't solved everything. I have a bunch of numbers that assigned to a contact called "blocked" and the ringtone is silent for that contact so I don't notice it as much anymore. Seems like a good feature to add though.

From what I have heard the big thing Apple needs next in iOS is better and free Navigation...I think it will be out soon since they bought that 3d nav company awhile back.

that's a good idea. i have a contact called pest that i assign all of these numbers to and i gave it a distinct ringtone so i would know to ignore it, but i never thought of setting a silent ringtone.

i'm excited to see how apple makes mobile navigation apple-like.
