Apple released Siri, a voice activated personal assistant, exclusively on the iPhone 4s. Siri allows you to use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and more. Sounds too good to be true? That’s what I thought. But it really works well… and she has a sense of humor!
Here are some items that I find most useful to use:
- Send text messages
- Send emails
- Check calendar schedule
- Add calendar appointments
- Move existing appointments
- Set reminders
- Set alarms and timers
- Calling contacts
- Directions to locations
- Finding the nearest Starbucks
- Play songs or playlists
- Checking stock markets
- Finding out about the weather


Hi Tei,
I’m SO ready to upgrade from my iPhone 4 to the new 4 S, but unfortunately my AT&T account isn’t quite ready for me to do so. I think I’ve got two more months before I can start bldg a relationship with Siri.
Once you get a hang of what to ask and what it will respond with it becomes a very useful and handy tool. I find myself using Siri throughout every day. Still hasn’t lost its wow factor.
