I'm looking forward to upgrading to a new smartphone now that mine is 4 years old.

My iPhone 3Gs doesn't run Siri, just the older voice control system.

As a result I can direct it to "play album, ALBUM NAME", or "songs by ARTIST", and "play playlist PLAYLIST NAME"... but that's about it.

No fine controls, like "play SONG TITLE", which I've seen Siri do on a friend's phone.

What OTHER things can I have iTunes do via voice control with Siri?

Also: does its ability to execute commands work if I don't have a connection to the web (does it need to use the web to translate my voice into words it can parse)??

I'm really a power user when it comes to music and driving, and I want my next phone to be the best.

If Android can compete in this arena I want to know about it.

Siri only works when you can connect to the internet- it doesn't process your voice on the iPhone itself.

So, if I'm in airplane mode I can't voice control anything on iTunes?

What about voice dialing? Same thing I expect.

That sucks. That totally sucks.

So wait, they can listen in to hear who you're dialing by name?
I know, the mysterious "they" can do anything they want, but still.

This news bothers me.

Has anybody played with voice control on Android phones?

Is it the same?
