That's some star trek level stuff they're demonstrating on Siri.

this should been announce in feb.
samsung and htc, even LG got better specs already.
The A5 is really fast, GPU performance is unrivalled.
The "Worldphone" aspect is also very nice. Do the others have that already? LTE is interesting, but for most people not something they can use yet (no coverage), so that isn't something you will miss in iPhone.
Also Siri seems very impressive, it seems much more integrated than the Google Voice search in Android.

Well, I think the prices spell little problem for Mr. Elop. It'll be interesting to see how he is going to lure people into completely new "ecosystem" when they can have iphone 3 for free and iphone 4 for $100 (and no doubt android makers will follow suit shortly)?

On a more serious note, it appears to do better with context.
You can ask questions like "Do I need a raincoat today?" or "Wake me up tomorrow at 6am."
and it responds with "It sure looks like rain today" and sets the alarm for you.

Also, don't you have to hold down the 'home' key to activate Siri? Not very handsfree, might as well n9 swipe two times and not have to open your mouth/stop talking to someone/be annoying in public.

Otherwise pretty good update. Apple now has three price points covered with different iPhones models. Gonna be good for their marketshare.
