I've been playing with Siri on the iPhone 4S since I got it, and it does remarkably well at a number of tasks, however there is room for improvement. Here is a list of things that I wish it could do and hope that it might eventually do.
- If you ask Siri "Do a Google search for Pandas" it will comply, but it would be nice if you could ask "Do a Google News search for Occupy Wall Street" or "Do a Google Image search for Scarlett Johannson."
- Sports Scores! Enough Said... I would love to ask "What's the score of the Notre Dame and Purdue game?" and have Siri say "The Score is Notre Dame 27, Purdue 3, it is the 4th quarter with 5:23 left to play."
- There were some features in the Siri App that have not (yet) made the transition to the 4S such as booking reservations for restaurants and looking up movie times (also possibly purchasing the tickets for you.) I think these things will come, but I want them NOW.
- App Accessibility. Siri will currently set an alarm (which uses the Clock App) or plot directions (using Google Maps,) but it'll be nice when and if it can at least open up other apps. "Siri, open up my Twitter app." or "Siri, open Youtube."
- Search. I think if you ask Siri to find something on your iPhone, some things it can, like contacts, but it would be nice if you could do a spotlight type of search with all media on your phone like "Find all pictures of me in Photos."
- Twitter, Facebook, etc... It would be nice to just say "Please Tweet the following, the traffic on 83 is horrible right now!" or "Please update facebook status to say, I just won the lottery suckers" or even if you just took a picture say "Please send picture to Facebook"
- Control Settings. How awesome would it be to simply tell Siri "Please turn off wifi" or "enable Bluetooth." This would be too sweet.
That's all I can think of right now... I'll try to think of more and make a similar post in the future...
