"among the companies looking to integrate that feature in the next twelve months are GM, BMW, Mercedes, Land Rover, Jaguar, Audio, Toyota, Chrysler, and Honda."

I assume that "Audio" is Audi. Siri would have caught that.

Doesn't pressing and holding the talk/answer button in your car trigger Siri anyway?

The big issue using Siri in the car over Bluetooth is variable quality of the car's microphone. The mics/noise cancelling on the iPhone are so good that commands Siri understands on its own are very hit and miss over Bluetooth.

I'd also like to see an Apple car dock solution...

Wish it supported the iPad 1? Granted no camera but IOS 6 supports the 3GS, iPad 1 should at least get some love.

Just the 4S and beyond. It's not so much the processing power, but rather the specific noise-canceling microphone introduced in the 4S but not present in prior models.

I am disappointed by lack of text entry mode.

Any news yet on if/when Siri will be available to run on an iPhone 4?
Some people are like Slinkies; not much good for anything

Sorry; I was looking at the wrong end of the listing and thought my posting hadn't gone up, so I re-posted it.
