These aluminum bumpers have picked up steam (various manufactures):

Watching these Siri demos is making the wait very hard...
WHAT IS THIS DEVIL MAGIC?

Does anyone know if Siri's accent is locked by region or can you change it? I want the British voice so I can pretend I have a fancy electronic butler!

I would pay for a Whitta siri voice pack. Use your connections and make it happen.

That video... the first voice is a male voice... so I'm going to say yes.
 
I love the look of the white but I think the biggest knock against it is it makes the screen look less vibrant because it has such a bright border around it.

From that early 4S video published today, here are the languages you can set.

Is that the language just for Siri's voice or also for recognition? If I want Siri to sound British will I also have to talk to it in a British accent? Because I can totally do that.

don't buy pansy bumpers, go for the real deal.

The most minimalist you can get while still keeping the old form factor.

Never really digged apple bumpers because they never had a tight fit. I know you can boil them or something, but why bother?
 
Hmm, probably going blue bumper with white iphone. I liked that combo for ipad 2, and since i have no use for tablets, this will do.

Other choices for bumpers. These were/are popular for iPhone 4 but I never bought one.

ah I bought the gold champaign one. It looks good, but the feel is horrible. Cases that are harder to grip than naked is kinda counterproductive no?

It's also a bit hard to get on and off (feels like it's gonna break).
 
Every now and then I'm tempted to rip off the screen protectors and just go naked with a bumper, but I was in The Apple Store today and they were $30...I'd rather just get another Candyshell at $35.

We're going to do a whole segment on the live Tested podcast on Friday asking it every question we can think of.
How about giving Siri a hard math problem or ask Siri how far is it from here to the white house.

Bumper sucks cuz it obstructs the dock port and headphone jack.
This is true, if you get a bumper also be prepared to buy a dongle that will let you plug most standard headphones into it, the hole is too small for anything but Apple earbuds.

I think it would answer those without any problem, we are going to have to get much more creative.
Hmm yea you are right. Ask Siri to show you the history of the batman.

Hmmm wait Siri would just show the wiki page.

I wonder what siri would answer if it was asked about skynet.

I would find it funny if thbey inserted more joke answers like like when siri was asked Who it was.
