Apple's Siri Subject To Lawsuit Over 'Deceptive Representations' In Ads [latimes.com]

Siri, the voice-activated personal assistant program built into the Apple iPhone 4S, is the target of yet another lawsuit.

"Through its nationwide multimedia marketing campaign, Apple disseminates false and deceptive representations regarding the functionality of the Siri feature," the suit alleges. "For example, in many of Apple's television commercials, consumers are shown using Siri to make appointments, find restaurants, and even to learn the guitar chords to classic rock songs. In its advertisements, Apple depicts these tasks as easily accomplished "just by asking" Siri."

However, Jones hasn't found that using Siri is that easy, the suit said.

I've never used it, so can't comment, but i've seen similar overstated functionality in other mobile Apps.
