Siri one of the biggest new features of Apple's iPhone 4S, if not the biggest. What will Siri become, will it be a takeaway hit that converts everyone to iPhones or will it be a feature that looks amazing but seldom actually used?

Siri is a virtual assistant on the all new iPhone 4S, which launches Friday. You can talk to Siri,  ask it questions and even have it set up appointments. Siri without a doubt looks like an amazing piece of software, but will it be so amazing that it is used frequently or will it be an amazing features that people just like to show off?

For example, when Apple first introduced the iPhone 3GS with a video camera it was the reason I upgraded, I would have anyway actually. With the iPhone 3G it was a faster network. With the iPhone 4 Apple really pushed its FaceTime features with dual cameras on the phone, people saw that as a must have feature. With the fifth-generation Apple is pushing Siri, an exclusive software feature to the iPhone 4S. 

C0mparing Siri to other iPhone update exclusives you may come up with Voice Control, video camera and FaceTime. Let's be honest, how many people actually use Voice Control in normal everyday use? Not many that I know of. I'd say almost everybody has received good use from their video camera. FaceTIme may be a different story. I don't often use FaceTime but I do occasionally. Most of the iPhone 4 owners I've talked to don't use FaceTime, some have never used it. I hope Siri turns out to be something I can use everyday, the factor that determines that will certainly be how well it actually works. 

I can't say for myself how I'll use Siri other than the basic functions. Who knows if I'll continue to use it past the first week of having an iPhone 4S. I have to say though, I am excited.
