Is siri on iPad 3?

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.

iMac 24" 2.4GHZ, Mac OS X (10.5.6), 4GB RAM

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)?

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:
