    I'm an apple lover, and a bit crazy about my electronics. I'm not generally the type who reads how-to books or manuals, because i enjoy the journey of exploring a new product and its capabilities. Finding myself short on time, and frustrated by this new technology that seemed to hate the very sound of my voice, I turned to "Siri: working with your personal assistant". It is definitely not the typical "how-to" manual. It was practical, to the point, filled with useful tips, and delivered in a completely charming manner. After reading it, I'm back in love with my iPhone 4S.

    My whole family found this new book very helpful. In one hand we had an ipad with the downloaded book, in the other our new iphones. The book stepped us through the learning process in a very logical and entertaining matter. We each were able to find how Siri worked for us - it is interesting how my teenagers are using it differently then I am! I especially loved being told some of the limitations of this new product so I didn't get frustrated trying to figure it out on my own! I'll look forward to your 2nd edition as Siri advances!
