Do you need the 4S and Siri for this? I can't get it to work. I've tried various combinations of names matching those in my contact list.
Got a tip for us?

I used to be able to double-tap the Home button and get my favorites. I can't find where to configure this anymore!
in reminders, just tap the button with the 3 lines in the top left, you'll be in the lists menu, hit Edit, then choose "create new list" and call it Groceries and there you go!!
it's done that since iOS4, does it with videos in safari too
In the calculator app, you can hold your finger on the answer and do a copy&paste to documents, emails, ...

I have a groceries reminder list which is shared with my wife which is really practical. For example , if I'm at work and she adds to the grocery list, I'm automatically notified by email that an item has been added to the list. #

And I'm still bitter about it.
I know what you mean, but then Apple would have needed a different multitasking method.
Thanks...I guess? Is there an advantage to using Reminders rather than Notes? I guess because you could tie a reminder to a location, then when you arrive at the hardware store, the grocery, etc, it pulls up your list?
You can't share notes unless your sharing your iCloud, which is a bad idea. The grocery thing is working great for us too...

Played/Unplayed Status
I have noticed that TV Shows and Podcasts magically sync their played, partially played and unplayed status across my iPhone and iPad. This seems to happen as long as both devices are on the same wifi network. Keep in mind I'm not talking about Wi-Fi Sync! this is something else, kind of like the way iBooks syncs pages read and whatnot. The only bummer to this is that iTunes doesn't get this same "magic" play status sync so the device that actually played the media has to do a full sync in order for its played/unplayed flag to get flipped. Which makes it mostly useless for now, but still i didn't see any documentation of this!
Any one else seeing this?

Shouldn't iOS 5 now allow background app downloads without leaving the AppStore? Because it's not happening in my case
Apparently it was meant to but I've never seen it, I've been using ios 5 since beta 1
always worked this way
Mine has always worked this way and continues to. I'll setup half a dozen update downloads or new apps purchases and it continues to download in the background. It isn't a constant, it will resume the process after it understands that you aren't about to make a call or do something else processor intensive.

Oh yeah, and a little undocumented thing: They changed the Snooze button when an alarm is going off
