After the release of the A5 jailbreak there have been many Siri tweaks that enhance her in some ways but AssistantExtensions turned out to be by far the most impressive Siri tweak yet.

Find Free Music by Sending Text Messages To SiriTunes
A new website called SiriTunes lets you use Siri and text messages to search for Music. Just add a new contact to your iPhone called Siri Tunes with the number (424) 888-7474.

How to send e-mails with Siri the easy way
When writing e-mails with Siri, usually you would do it like that:
You: “I would like to send an email.”
Siri: “To whom shall I send it?”
You: “Steve.”
Siri: “What’s the subject of your email?
You: “Lunch tomorrow”
Siri: “What would you like your email to say?”
You: “Hey Steve, lets have lunch tomorrow!”
Siri: “Here’s the email message to Steve. Ready to send it?”
You: “Send.”
While this process works perfectly fine, it isn’t fast. You can get Siri to write your email much faster by saying: “Email Steve about Lunch tomorrow and say Hey Steve, lets have lunch tomorrow!” That’s it!
So the formula is: “Email [name] about [subject] and say [message]”
To reply to a new email you can just say “Reply Ok, see you tomorrow.” Continue reading
