Here it is, the ultimate guide for Siri our virtual assistant. It's quite amazing how useful Siri can be. In this guide we will find out which commands that can be performed on Siri. Some of the features won't work in some countries for instance if you want to find restaurants near by or if you want to navigate to your home. These features is however under development for several countries and will appear in 2012.
A very useful feature I've been using lately is the reminder with positions. If I want to remember to bring a DVD when I'm going to my friends house I can tell Siri: "Remind me bring DVD when I leave home" With this command Siri will set up a reminder that I should bring a DVD and it will be triggered when I leave home. Siri will acknowledge this through the GPS that I'm leaving home and will send me a reminder to bring the DVD.
In order for Siri to know where you live, you simply make an contact in your contact book with your own info. You then go to Settings >> General >> Siri. Under My info, choose your own contact you just made.
Here are the command list. Enjoy!!
