My latest favorite iPhone app is Siri. It caught my attention when I read an article that Apple snatched them up. So far I’m thrilled with the app. It’s now my go to app when I have a question on the road.

The app bills itself as a personal assistant.  You speak or type a request and Siri will search for the answer.  For instance, I was recently coming back from a concert and was looking for an ice cream shop in Wenham (a place I’m not familiar with at all).  Siri went to work, first confirming it understood my question, then the gears turned for a second or two and poof, a list of ice cream shops nearby along with reviews and directions!

The location aware app handles requests for flight times, restaurant reservations, taxis, directions, and all kinds of other things that a mobile professional would benefit from immensely. Of course all these features are available in other apps, but Siri pulls it all together under one umbrella.

I highly recommend Siri and would probably pay several dollars for the app, but you don’t have to worry about that cause this app is FREE! Why are you still reading this – go get the app – http://siri.com/
