Hi Gigi, Siri is a feature on the new iphone 4 s, where you can talk to your phone as if it were your pal. Rather than using a specific format, you can ask it to do several things in normal speech, and what you can do is really cool. Like: text my dad that I'm running late and that I'll be home at 8 tonight. Siri will send an sms to dad, once it knows which contact it is. Or: wake me up tomorrow at six. Siri will set the alarm for you. Likewise, you can dictate email, notes etc, or you can have it look up the weather by saying: do I need an umbrella tomorrow. Siri is the piece of software that intelligently tries to guess what you really mean if you talk to your iphone just naturally. On Oct 6, 2011, at 6:19 PM, Eugenia Firth wrote:
