Crack on. I'd love to have a chat about it. I have two sat 1000 miles from me, hopefully I'll learn something before the unpackaging in two weeks time when I'll no doubt ask Siri rather than some clown on the Internet.

Yes, you'll be able to ask Siri anything and make calls, even when the phone is locked.

There's a difference between "won't" and "can't" and you certainly can with this flaw:

I can choose to leave my devices fully unlocked, I don't. Saying that I was almost 'fraped' - awful term - last week, should I be **** stirring? It was a Windows machine.

Things must have been desparate for you, especially if YOU had to resort to using a Windows machine! How awful for you.

I use lots of Windows machines Jon, and Macs but no Linux right now, that's moved to pastures new. I'm even using Symbian! The OS/2 of mobile operating systems.

But yes, I was desperate, I'd just smelt a fart and felt a compulsion to post it to Facebook. Couldn't help myself.
