Siri - Your mobile personal assistant
Siri is a recently released iPhone app that wants to be your mobile personal assistant (Android and Blackberry apps are coming). Their website says "You ask, Siri does." According to them Siri is a new way to get things done. Technology pundit, Robert Scoble, recently wrote a post titled, "Why if you miss Siri you'll miss the future of the web." Scoble likes Siri because of how they have stitched together a number of services in a single app. Think of it as advanced search. You can type commands or just say what you want and it converts your voice to text and finds what you need.
I downloaded the app to my iPhone and so far it works quite well, even nailing my voice requests 100% of the time. I travel infrequently and don't even get into big cities that often so I am not sure how often I will need a service like this. Download the app and give it a try.
