Anyone who has used Siri has an opinion of the service. My own is that it's immensely helpful in most situations, while being incredibly frustrating in others. Like most, I wish it was faster. Google's recently updated search app for iOS sets the bar for speed very high. If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend you do.

Kontra has taken the introduction of this updated app to share his thoughts on the possible future of Siri. I hope Apple is devoting resources to develop Siri along these lines. It seems it would be one of the best possible uses of the substantial bank role they're sitting on.
