According to a new study, most people who have access to Apple's Siri voice assistant think she's just fine -- they just don't want her around all that much.
As part of its quarterly "Market Focus" report, Parks Associates today said that in a polling of 482 iPhone 4S owners in the U.S., more than 50 percent of respondents said they were "very satisfied" with Siri. About a fifth of the group said that they were simply "satisfied," and some 9 percent said they were "unsatisfied."
According to the Wall Street Journal, which reported on the findings earlier today, 87 percent of those polled said they use the feature at least once a month, with about a third saying they use it on a daily basis.
