I think Siri's eventual integration with 3rd party apps will become enormously popular. I think we'll soon get to a point where using the keyboard will be almost totally unnecessary. Imagine all the things just your existing apps will be able to do with Siri.

Some easy examples:
IMDB: Who won the Academy Award for best actor in 1983?
Facebook/Twitter: Update my status/tweet saying...
Sports: What's the score of the game right now, who scored the most points, who's leading the league in rebounds...
FourSquare/Yelp: Check me in at Walmart.
Google Translate: Translate this to Chinese....

Possibilities are pretty endless. With that said, I just read that Apple is hiring developers to prepare for this transition. Do you think Apple will release a developer's kit so that any third party will know how to create an app built for Siri? I think this will be a fantastic opportunity for app developers and I'd like to hear what others have to say about this.
