Wonder where we might see SIRI next? I think we will see her integrate. It has already been released that Mercedes intends to integrate her with some of their upcoming models. I think this is just paving the way for further integration, and I don’t think she will just integrate with hardware, I think she will integrate with apps as well.
It will probably be on the developer to make their apps work with SIRI. But can you picture driving down the road telling Pandora to skip to the next track, or to thumb up a song you like? How about telling MotionX to re-route you? I can also see some interesting applications for gaming too, things like changing weapons in shooters, etc. The list doesn’t stop there. You may be using your voice as a remote shutter release for group photos or to post your status update to Facebook. I think it would be great to tell SIRI to promote my latest blog article on Twitter. Hopefully we will get some phone control with SIRI as well. For example. turning on and off WIFI.
SIRI integration with apple hardware will be cool, too. I think we will be able to choose what to watch on our Apple TV’s just by telling SIRI to play the latest episode of How I Met Your Mother on Netflix. I doubt it will stop there. I think we will be remote controlling our Mac’s via our voices as well.
If apple goes the same route they did with hardware integration on third party products we might even see SIRI telling us our blood pressure, or when our steaks are done. I’m personally waiting for the iFlush the SIRI controlled toiled flusher. Think of all the cheeky comments she could make about that one.
Just like the original iPhone came to us with few options, Apple expanded it into it’s own computer ecosystem. I expect they will do the same with SIRI.
