Overall though, I'd guess it is using relatively little data. It's not like people are continually interacting with Siri. How long does it take to ask the question? How long does it take to get a response? How many questions do you ask in a minute.

Now compare that to The usage pattern for something like Pandora.

Besides, half the time it doesn't need to send any data, since half the time you get a response of "I'm sorry, somethings wrong..."
