My thinking is that Apple is using its huge datacenter to collect data and refine Siri for various speech and accents, keeping tally of common requests, etc. That way they could push out more common things to the phone itself. That'd cut back usage.

I've seen exactly ONE Playbook in the wild. A fellow at work has one, he was showing me the AWESOME BB bridge capabilities... and that was it. RIM should have aborted this genetically defective mutant before it was born.

One wish: Multiple user accounts! We have 3 family members using our iPad and woudl like to have our stuff separate. Our daughter's silly games needn't be on my workspace. Email accounts, Facebook, etc. would all benefit.
