Concept: The Siri Store
Lately, hackers have found many practical uses for Siri. Using jailbreaks that add code to Siri's program, Siri has been able to turn up a thermostat, start a car, and play a piano. There's also many practical Siri jailbreaks, like the one shown above where you can ask Siri how much battery life you have left. Of all these feats, only the battery life one is available to the public. And if you want it, you'll have to jailbreak your iDevice, which is quite time-consuming, and, more importantly, dangerous. Thinking about all of this has given me an idea; the Siri Store.
My idea is that Apple should open a "Siri Store" where one can download add-ons that add code to Siri. This way, it would be easier, safer, and more encouraged to start cars with Siri. And along with these ideas, a Siri Store would quite certainly open up the gates to third-party developers, who could make paid add-ons to get the money. Who knows what they could make? For, as Apple proved with their App Store, the creativity of developers doesn't have an end.
