A conversation with Siri

In writing my review of the iPhone 4S I got to spend some time playing with the Siri voice-recognition engine. And so I made a video, so you could see it in person. It's embedded in the review itself, but I've also added it below as well as putting it in our (soon to be revived) Macworld Video podcast stream.

The iFusion connects to your iPhone via Bluetooth and charges via the dock. You can then pick up the plastic phone and use it as a receiver for your iPhone. The iFusion also sports a speakerphone, which the company says sounds superior to the iPhone’s built-in option.
