Recently, the New York Times had an article detailing the annoyance some folks have felt when overhearing people using Siri, the iPhone 4S’s digital assistant, in public.
“It sounded ridiculous,” said Mr. Klein, 28, who works in social media marketing.

It all comes down to being considerate of others. If you are, you won’t be loud. You’ll turn off the clicks, bleeps, and boops on your phone. And you won’t get choked by frustrated commuters.
