Are You Sirious?

Yes, I have a new iPhone 4S. I’ve been a loyal AT&T customer since they were Cingular and cell phones were the size of a brick. I’ve had an iPhone since my daughter got the first one for her birthday and I struggled to keep up with her texting. (We had adopted a code of “1” for “yes” and “2” for “no” because I was so clumsy at texting on a number pad phone!) I upgraded from an iPhone 3, so the 4S has lots of new features that I haven’t figured out yet, but I have had fun playing with Siri.

First, Siri helped me pack for a three city business trip.
I asked, “What’s the weather [day] in [city]?”

Not the best forecast, but at least I know what to pack for.

Could Siri help calculate a tip?
I asked, “Calculate 15% of 55.”

I think my math major daughter would like these answers!

To make sure she could help in a real emergency, I asked,
“Where’s the nearest Starbucks?”

And for my husband, who has yet to jump on the iPhone bandwagon but doesn’t mind humoring the rest of us:

If you have the new iPhone, what have you asked Siri?
