If you're an iPhone 4S owner then the chances are you're also a fan of Siri, Apple's latest big thing. The idea behind Siri is actually a simple one - to help make interacting with your iPhone as simple as asking it a question, or asking it to perform a task. Using real language, Siri should, at least in theory, be able to understand what you want and then act upon it.
TouchPad for iOS has built up a reputation for being one of the smoothest remote keyboard and Trackpad apps to do it, with functionality and features second to none.

About one week ago, we published a post talking about how this one developer managed to open Siri up for other developers so they could come up with plugins that would extend its functionality beyond the usual wake-me-up, play-me-this-song, tell-me-the-weather type commands.

It’s hard to keep up with online trends, they seem to change every week. Lucky for us there's always quick developers helping us keep up!
When Siri was introduced just last month, it didn’t take long for developers to tinker with the software and find innovating ways of using the feature.
Despite having only launched 5 or so weeks ago along with the iPhone 4S, hacking Siri has already become something of a spectator sport, with a seemingly endless range of possibilities.
OK, before we go any further we just have to say this: we're officially one or two steps away from living in the Star Trek world, and it is awesome!
I have an iPhone 4 and have been tempted to upgrade to the 4S since its debut. I don’t use my camera all that often and don’t care about getting more room for pictures, videos and apps. It’s Siri that has me considering the upgrade. And I would get it if it weren’t for the hefty price tag that comes with.
