Siri: The New Alice

Siri is the personal assistant you always wanted (in your purse or pocket).

You simply speak or type into the phone with a request like, “Find new restaurants in New York.”  Speech is turned to text and the request is pushed to an appropriate service on the Web.  Not only does it bring back relevant information based on context, time of day, and your location, but it can even make reservations or buy tickets  with your consent.  The possibilities are endless – book a cab, buy baseball tickets, search for family friendly events…Awsome!

The app is now live (and free) in the App Store.
