Siri is iPad 3 only

Yesterday a Twitter friend pointed out that when she updated her iPad 2 to iOS 6 she was under the impression that she was also getting Siri. That is not the case for iPad 2 owners. Apple does state that “Siri Features” are included in the initital show notes. It does not state that Siri is for the new iPad (3rd Generation) only. If you click the “Learn More” link it does state it there . I am sure the majority of users do not take the time to look at the release notes. This is nothing more than just a simple heads up to anyone who might not have updated yet, if you have an iPad 2 you are not getting Siri.

Episode 28 - Life without Google

Today we talked about the only thing that made any difference today. Take one guess? The first five do not count, of course it was iOS 6. Transform your 3rd generation into a completely new device with the iOS 6 update. Siri? Yep, she is included. I discussed a couple of ways to use Siri on your iPad and how it may help your workflow in allowing you to Tweet or send an iMessage while never having to leave the current application you are currently using. Google leaving iOS 6 with the removal of Google Maps and YouTube but don’t worry, we have a nice list of alternatives plus Apple Maps ships with iOS 6. Sit back and have a listen.
