Is siri on iPad 3? It does not say so anywhere on Apple's iPad 3 pages.
It better be. I won't buy one otherwise.

I think Apple should add Siri after the fact in a software update. That is a really necessary feature to have in a mobile device.
Then tell them via the feedback pages linked to above.
The A5x chip in the iPad 3 does not have the processing power to do the high res Retina display AND Siri at the same time. Apple decided the display was more important to them.
So, Apple's most powerful moble device won't have one of Apple's most popular features?!!!!
Yes that is the case. How astute to have figured that out.

Please cite the source of your information that Siri is one of "Apple's most popular features".

To whom and why?
Siri is not the most popular feature. It's an absolute nightmare and doesn't function as it should. Why have a smartphone feature on a bulky tablet? Doesn't make sense.
And no matter how much feedback you leave, they're not going to add Siri to an iPad. Let it go.
Well at least to his Brackishness!
😁
Saltwater asside, it seemed like something they could/would/should have included.
I can almost accept the suggestion that the GPU and/or CPU works too hard to generate the pixel count - but I'm not convinced. If it can drive retina and run a complex 3D game or garage band and multi-task, it should be able to process Siri requests. Does the GPU or CPU run retina? I'll have to research that as I know little about the A5.
Frankly though, I'm not that hot on iPads anyway due to the fact that I can't really work on them.
Until I can run InDesign and Illustrator to design packaging and print-magazines, it's just a toy anyway. I'll have to get a Macbook Air instead for portable work.
Sure, I could VNC into my home box over 4G, but that's not very practical.
Without Siri, it seems like an unfinished, hobbled toy compared to my 4S 😝
One other thought about retina - if the display is 264ppi (almost print res), won't 72ppi web images look bad now (like when you print a 72ppi image on a 150 linescreen offset press)?
Just when you think Apple can't get any more infuriating -- they do stuff like this. Is there ANY logical reason that Siri was not included on the new iPad? 😠
I love people who, when the iPad doesn't do one or two things they want to do, relegate it as a "toy". Must take a really inflated ego. So is it a toy up there in those airplane cockpits where they are using them?
Sheesh.
And personally right now (and I know it is in Beta), Siri is really a toy.
Remember that the new iPad is not running the same A5 chip that is in the iPhone 4s:
Stop whining. You don't want it and you don't intend to buy it. What's the big deal? For a different reason, I don't want it and I won't buy it. So what?

Yes there is.
Is siri on iPad 3?
