So, the much anticipated Siri app became available tonight via the iTune store. I've been anxiously waiting for this particular app for months and though I have only been using it for about an hour, so far it is most impressive. If you haven't heard of it, it is an artificial intelligence tool (of sorts) that uses natural language processing to decipher and provide answers to certain requests - "find me a sushi restaurant in Sausalito," "what time is Avatar  playing in San Francisco," etc.

I've made about ten inquiries and so far it appears to be batting around .700, which isn't too bad for a version 1.0 product. I am sure I will have more to say on this soon - I need to use it for a few more weeks to really get a sense of its capabilities -- but in the interim, it is a no-brainer of a download (it's free). It is also yet another reason why I am reticent to move off the iPhone platform, despite AT&T's continued dismal service -- which I actually think is somehow getting worse.
