Why would a user say 'iPhone' when using an iPhone app for netsurfing?.
Excellent point. Indeed, the source which seems to have been "The Daily
Telegraph" (so you can sort of 'justify' the innacuracies) indeed perpetuates
the
gaffe at
blogs.zdnet.com/gadgetreviews/?p=533 - 70k - Cached - Similar pages
When speaking the word “iPhone” into the application,
a Scottish user was offered a porn website after it mistook
his search for “sex,” the Telegraph reported.
In some cases, we see the input was not really the atrociously otiose
"iPhone" but more reasonable things:
“I’ve got a traditional Kentish accent
and the thing kept on spitting back ridiculous
things,” said Roger Ellinson, 26, from Maidstone in Kent,
southeastern England.
“I asked it to find my nearest pizza take away and
it came back with something about volcanoes,” he added.
“I asked it to find my nearest pub and it gave me a link
to some kind of weird dating website,” said Ellinson.
Cheers,
JLS
