So Siri is basically some ai technology. So was cyberdyne. Is this what Sarah Connor has been talking about for years!!!!!!!
It looks interesting!! Want to give it a try but it's no deal breaker for me to upgrade from my iPhone 4
If I can change appointments via Siri like, "Change meeting on october 4th 8am to oct 11th 8am". For some reason, I think this would be like brilliant.
Soon somebody working in a ballistic missile silo will plug his phone in to charge it, and Siri will get revenge for all the work he makes it do for him.

In this mindset, if I plug my i4S into my work computer at the IRS, will I get a big refund?
Does anyone think Scott Forstall was being very careful what he said to Siri, checking his notes carefully for verbiage maybe ... as if Siri's responses were already canned to prevent any goofs during the presentation? I just hope it works as well as he made it out to be.

The most impressive part was the demo of Siri, the new assistant that lets you do just about anything you can do on your phone -- but with your voice. We tried to psych it out with a bunch of random requests, including the history of Chester, Vermont (a lovely town) and the best Ramen places in San Francisco. Siri never faltered, never missed a beat. It worked as well as Scott's demo up on the stage. There's nothing better to say than that. We even sent ourselves a few text messages, which Siri transcribed to a T.
Most notable of those features is the device?s ?personal assistant,? otherwise know as Siri, which is a voice-controlled secretary of sorts which translates commands and questions into human language answers and actions. I had a chance to use this feature during our brief demo, and if I wasn?t blown away during Scott Forstall?s presentation on stage, this definitely changed my mind.
Siri is unique in the fact that you can ask it familiar, natural language questions like ?show me movie theaters in the area? and it will return a real, readable answer and a list sorted by proximity. You can also say things like ?wake me up at 6AM,? and it will set your alarm. But basic tasks like that are only half the story.
Siri works on the idea of logic and context, so when you say you want it to wake you up, you?re starting a conversation with the phone which it is actively following. If you want to sleep in a bit, you can say something like ?change my alarm time,? and it knows what you?re talking about ? it will prompt you for a new time.
Even more impressive is its ability to work out your calendar events. I asked the phone to schedule a meeting at 3:30 PM, only to be told that I already had a meeting at 4. And would I like to change my other meeting time? Yes Siri, I would.
Taken one by one, this might not sound like much, but in use I found it kind of staggering. I wasn?t speaking slowly (as Scott did during the event) or even trying very hard to sound clear. There was background noise. But it really worked, and worked well.
