iPhone & Wolfram Alpha

My kids (20 & 17) are real Apple geeks... they have the laptops, iPads, Apple TV, you name it, they have it... so on Friday two iPhone 4S's arrived at our house. Over the weekend, we spent several hours playing with Siri... the voice-activated assistant.

After a few minutes of finding out how it reacts when you swear at it (we are middle-school boys despite our ages!), we spent quite some time exploring how it works. I was especially impressed with the integration of Wolfram Alpha... tell Siri to graph a function (tell it "graph x squared" and within seconds, the graph is there on your screen!
