I use Siri a lot when going to the gym for calculations. The coach creates a workout for the powerlifting team. last week we were told to lift at 70 percent of our one rep max. I just asked Siri to tell me what 70 percent was of my one rep squat number and it replied within seconds. I did the same for the bench and deadlift workouts. It is much easier than using a calculator. Recently, I have been using it to identify music. If I am listening to the radio or I am at a bar and I really like a song, I ask siri to name the song. After it names the song, I open up Shazam and I have the song info e-mailed to me. I eventually download the song from the Internet and make it into a ringtone. I have been doing it recently with some heavy metal music. Talk to you later.
