Why So Siri-ous?
The iPhone 4s has hit the markets and with much success approaching the month of November. Most iPhone users are happy with the upgrade and a noticeable difference from the iPhone 4 is the new program called "Siri". Siri is the ultimate helper when it comes to finding information with the iPhone 4s. The app is capable of scheduling meetings, placing phone calls, sending texts, and finding where some good Chinese food is in your area. Even having casual conversation is something Siri has the ability to do. Telling Siri you love it gets a response of "I bet you say that to all the mobile phones.". Siri saves time on internet searches, keeps things a little more hands-free during driving and other activities and also provides a good laugh every now and again. Siri recognizes your voice and gives plenty of witty responses.
iPhone 4s User: "What is the weather going to be like in Miami this week?"
Siri: "Bring your sunglasses. It's going to be sunny in Miami."
With the new iPhone 4s, one can find everything they need with the usage of one program and one voice. Within only a few weeks, this new app is a Siri-ous hit amongst iPhone 4s owners.

I was just reading an article in CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/18/tech/mobile/siri-answers-iphone-4s/index.html?hpt=hp_bn6)and the NYTimes (http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/14/siri-is-one-funny-lady/) about the surprising and varied things that Siri says for questions that you normally wouldn't think to ask a cell phone (like what the meaning of life is, or what a woodchuck would chuck (if he could)... apparently there are blogs sprouting up around things that Siri says!
ReplyDeleteAnother funny one I saw was like, "Where's the best place to hide a dead body?" and Siri was like, "Did you mean: Swamps, reservoirs, dumps, mines." lol.
