OK, so, just got me a shiny new 4S and have been playing with Siri.
It quickly became apparent that it is "limited" to this list - but that's OK. It does it very well - it recognised all of my family members and workmates with 95% (or more) accuracy, and without any training.
OK so it is a modest start - but a quality one, and the options are useful.
The thing that blows me away though is the speech to text. It's very accurate, as good as my 2 year old trained Dragon Naturally Speaking install. Sadly this is texts only at the moment, but I imagine we will see it in email eventually (hope so anyway).
Dictating texts is great; I just sent a few instead of emails because it is so frickin quick :)
Quality product.
(as to how it knows about stuff like "my wife" - it asks you first time.)
EDIT: I've just found out I can dictate email with it... awesome! but the icon seems to be odd in whether it appears or not (if not going through siri direct. Clicking reply on an existing email doesn't seem to give me the option.
