How do you prevent others from using your phone with voice commands? What kind of access security is built in to a system like Siri? In some cases, it can become more complex. Consider how much private information is contained in your smartphone. How much of that information would you be comfortable broadcasting around you to strangers and people you know? Would you be willing to have Siri dictate your texts, emails or appointments out loud in your workplace? At home? You can imagine a thousand and one scenarios where that would be undesirable. Would you want a secretary dictating your next appointment out loud into your doctor\u2019s iPhone for everyone in the waiting room to hear?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’m sure Apple thought of this. The thing is, we trust Apple and have very few reasons not to trust them. However, these are real concerns. We’ll see once everyone gets their hands on an iPhone 4S and tries it. Bluetooth headsets, after a decade in the market are still awkward in most situations outside of your car. Is that how Siri will be? Awkward almost everywhere unless you’re in a car?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SmarterBits: How do you prevent others from using your phone with voice commands?
