The WSJ's Yoree Koh reports the confusion is so bad that Google Japan actually asks users if they'r searching for 尻 (shiri) when they enter Siri. While I'm sure a lot of Japanese browsers are in fact looking for ass online, most of them are just trying to get the scoop on the new iPhone. Not that Siri will support Japanese in the first place.
One (poorly Google-translated) Japanese tweet really says it all: "IPhone devices can talk and magical ass."

Lmao! Pretty unprofessional of Apple. Guess they can't do anything about it now though.
Well hard to find new product names. At least I heard about this Siri now because Japan finds it funny ;). So apple wins.
Nice post!
Oops, they should've checked that before they made it!
escuse my weaboness but isnt it "oshiri"?
I know a lot of Japanese for a newbie, and I didn't know Shiri. Hahah you learn something new everyday.
And this is just another thing leading me towards the Android market.

It is good that it has a name to go along with its look.
