The Siri app offers a unique way to interact with the Internet on your mobile phone. Siri reacts to voice commands and then performs searches tailored to your need. The Siri app partners with service providers such as OpenTable, Yelp, Rotten Tomatoes, Google Maps and more to find exactly what your looking for. You can make a reservation in one click or find out what events are going on nearby. Siri can even search through restaurant reviews to find you the most romantic or trendy new dining experience.
Siri is like having a tiny butler in your pocket who jumps at your every request, Devil-Wears-Prada style. The Siri app is currently available for iPhone and iPod Touch at no charge, with a Blackberry version in the works. Bow tie and waistcoat are not included.
