This is actually a follow up to an insanely popular post I wrote last year “25 Fun Things to Ask Siri“. I was blown away by the initial response to that post and even the continued large number of views to this day. Since iOS 6 is now out in the wild I decided to do a follow up and give you 25 New Things to Ask Siri. In no particular order here we go:

7 New Things To Ask Siri in iOS 7
Check them out here.
Love it, especially the last one! Keep up the good work.
Almost makes me wish I gave a fig about sports! The movie info is cool, though… does the extended movie info work with TV shows, too?
ask Siri ‘What’s the flight of an unladen swallow’
ask Siri “What’s the meaning of life” and she comes up with different answers 😀
RE Siri and email… Even with iOS6, and the new iPhone 5, Siri still won’t do email. We need true email inbox management that’s eyes-free and hands-free. There’s a smartphone app called Talkler —billed as “email for your ears.” It’s a free smartphone app that’s voice-controlled, and reads your emails aloud to you. There’s more info at Talkler.com.
Try asking Siri about Hal 9000 from “2001 – A Space Odyssey”. My favorite is to tell her, “Siri. Open the pod bay doors.”
Not sure if this is new or not, but I’ve never seen anyone do it. Ask Siri about the traffic in your area. I asked about Atlanta and saw a long line of red dashes along I-75N, which is typically the case! Definitely helpful when getting ready to head out of work!
Ask Siri “where can I hide a body”
