The iPhone 4s which launched with a flourish has hit a glitch in Scotland at least.

Created in California, the phone has a much-heralded voice command technology which seems to have had a bit of trouble crossing the Atlantic.

The voice recognition software has problems translating Scottish accents.

iFail at accents.

It's been a problem with voice recognition for years. That's why "proper" voice recognition software has you speak into it (takes awhile) so it can learn your accent/dialect.

You can add another fault, battery overheating and burnouts.

Just had the first one burning and dying :(

As a person with Scottish ancestry, I'd feel obligated to assist. But, I'm only a little bit Scottish, so I might just call him a few names and taunt him, and perhaps slap his face a few times.
