When Google announced it’s voice activated Google Search application, excited iPhone users rejoiced. Good news, this app puts Google’s to shame.Too bad it’s NOT available in Canada.

From Siri,

Siri is a virtual personal assistant on your phone. You ask Siri in your own voice, and it helps you get things done when you’re on the go. This video shows a demo of Siri helping plan a romantic evening, get tickets to a great movie, discover cool things to do on the weekend, and getting back home.

Siri Personal Assistant Highlights

  • Uses natural language understanding to connect with existing services and APIs
  • has more than 30 different partners whose APIs including OpenTable, MovieTickets.com, Eventful , StubHub, Taxi Magic, Rotten Tomatoes, Bing , Google Maps, and Yelp with more to come
  • Easy to access current accounts and Siri will remember them. No multiple log ins!

Plus, if you slur “I’m Drunk, take me home” the app with call you a taxi. Handy!

Not Available in Canada

The Siri App is currently only available in the United States, with plans to grow internationally in the future. I guess I have to add this to my list of Apps I want that are not available in Canada.
