The iPhone 4S’ Siri integration can be a potential game changer, but she’s not quite the arena traveler a number of us wish her to be. As a matter of fact, it kind of feels she’s as lost outside people borders as any unprepared tourist. Trying to find a pub in London? Better discover a traditional map. Want to know the time of day in Canada? Siri admits she has no idea, go buy a watch . Business search (via Yelp ), directions, traffic data, and Wolfram Alpha search all seem to be US-only features for now. The automatic assistant’s international failings aren’t too big of a surprise, however — Apple’s own Siri page outs the service as a beta, noting that some features may vary by area. Stuck with sub-par international support? Sit tight, it’s coming: Apple’s Siri FAQ states that additional language support (including Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian and Spanish), maps and native search content are set to head international in 2012.
