I was quite surprised by Tellme thinking that 10 am was 'teen anal'
This is a perfect example of why Steve Jobs was constantly talking about how Microsoft has no taste and churns out bad products. What Microsoft has is what has been around for a long time.. a bad voice recognition implementation. While Apple's is FAR from perfect, it is significantly more accurate and more versatile in handling different ways of saying the same thing.

Apple has made a habit of taking already created ideas (what MS was saying about how they've had this technology for over a year) and enhancing them.

Not to sound like an Apple fan boy, but Tellme is hardly the same thing as Siri.

Siri is patched for an Australian accent and Tellme is not. I'm sure Siri still works better though.
