I've been waiting for the microphone addition to the IOS keyboard. It was suppose to be updated with IOS5. It's not there!

The way I understood it, dictation takes place in the cloud, not on the phone (like Dragon Dictation), so the dual core ship and Siri would not be needed. I thought this would be available for iPhone 4 as well.

This feature will eventually come to your devices.

The microphone is a part of Siri. Just assume that whoever is looking forward to having a lot of voice features on their iPhone 4, iPads, and iPod Touches will be disappointed. iOS 5 is packed with other features, so this is definitely no reason to hate it. Anyone who's followed the boards over the last few days would know Siri is 4S-specific, and that while part of it may be a marketing strategy, I guarantee part of it has to do with processor power.

I do believe other devices will have some kind of voice recognition software, but it probably won't be close to what Siri is.

I believe that's a SIRI thing, and will be on the iPhone4S...
