News to me. Forget Siri, they wouldn't be doing much of anything. Seems like just about everyone has wifi these days, and if they don't then why bother? You're right that people aren't likely walking around with headphones. iPods have voice control without being always online.
Even so, every iPad is online some of the time and many are online all the time, so that in itself is not it. If this feature is intended for hands-free driving, it makes a bit more sense. I expect to be using it a lot on my 4S, looking up addresses and directions, making calls, controlling audio, composing texts, etc. I won't do that with my iPad 'cuz I can't put it in my pocket or make voice calls.
It's news to you that the WiFi iPad is more popular and people sometimes use them offline? Really? lol
VoiceOver doesn't require an internet connection. Siri does. And Apple has made it clear that they don't care to put Siri on the iPod at this time, and I think that's because the iPod is not an always-online device. I still think Siri would be really awkward on the iPad because of the form factor. Also it would do so much less than it does on the iPhone.
