Is there really not going to be 1gb of RAM in the 4S?..if so, why couldn't siri work on the ipad2?
SIRI is a major feature in iOS 5. you need 1GB of ram.
I think Siri would work on the iPad 2, but they need something to justify the iPhone 4s. Really it is just an snappier phone with a better camera. This update is all about the OS and all the new features. Siri gives those users that will be spending $$ on launch something to make them special.
We won't know the answer to this question until Apple explains. What's interesting is that one group of people assume Apple is intentionally withholding a feature for no logical reason. You may not agree with why they do certain things (e.g. no Flash), but they do have a logical reason for their actions and it's not just to squeeze more dollars from loyal customers.

Apple will probably not ever tell us how much RAM the iPhone 4S has.
iFixit or iRepair or iWhatever will tell us.
I agree. I meant that if it turns out that the 4S has the same amount of RAM as the iPad 2, Apple will probably still have a logical reason for not allowing Siri to work on the iPad 2. But RAM is the most easily proved theoretical reason, so we'll find out on Friday. Those tear-apart guys are pretty quick.
My broader point was that there are people who always presume the worst of Apple.
What iPads are not always on the Internet? Mine is always at home on wi-fi. Anywhere else I'd be using it would also have wi-fi. In between it's packed away. Many people also have 3G. The only difference I can think of is that most people, including me, don't use it while driving.
