The new iPhone 4S is capable of a lot of impressive things. The latest app making some noise is the new personal assistant tool known as Siri. Here is the official purpose of Apple’s Siri app:

Siri is the intelligent personal assistant that helps you get things done just by asking. It allows you to use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and more. But Siri isn’t like traditional voice recognition software that requires you to remember keywords and speak specific commands. Siri understands your natural speech, and it asks you questions if it needs more information to complete a task.

The commercial for Siri actually makes it look pretty cool. While many voice recognition systems can have trouble actually understanding what you’re saying, this one seems to have worked out the bugs and can hear and respond to your commands.
