[macvoiceover] Re: iphone 4s

Yup.

I agree 100% here.  I must say, Siri and dictation works far better than I 
thought it would have going in.  They have enhanced the microphone on the 4S 
which really makes a difference.  I've used it in some pretty noisy 
environments, and it picked out my voice from others, and background din.
