And looks we nailed it. Siri’s not coming to the new iPad. Instead, you’re getting just voice dictation.
“Of course, we have our great software keyboard. We have a new key on the bottom — just tap it, speak into your iPad, and it’ll dictate what you have to say,” says Phil Schiller.
Nice, but since everyone was sure Siri was a lock, this is sure to be a disappointment. Looks like we were right, though: Apple won’t ship Siri on machines that can’t be guaranteed a persistent Internet connection.
