Well, it appears that even with a minor technical flaw, Apple's new digital virtual assistant has been a smashing success. While I don't personally have an iPhone to test it out, the reviews have been fairly good across the board. Now, it seems as if Apple is taking things to the next level by making Siri the central interface for their upcoming Apple TV.

The next TV won't come out until at least 2013, but if Apple can make Siri easy to use, I don't see why this can't be an amazing success. I'm certainly not an Apple fanboy, but the idea of saying "Play the next Breaking Bad Episode," and having the television start streaming the next episode available in my Netflix is just kind of amazing.

Of course, pulling off that kind of AI isn't easy, and a half-baked interface will surely doom the whole enterprise. But, if nothing else it will be interesting to see.
