Update: iPhone 5 Has Voice-based 'Virtual Assistant'
Tuesday, October 4, 2011 at 2:45PM 
It's official: The iPhone 5 features Siri, a voice-based virtual personal assistant.
With it, you'll be able to set your phone's alarm, schedule events on your calendar, create reminders for yourself, get restaurant recommendations and more--just by speaking into your phone.
According to Engagdet, you can even ask Siri seemingly not-specific-enough questions, like "Do I need a raincoat today?" The device will respond with something like "No, it's sunny outside."
Apple even covered the inevitable question of "Who are you?" Engadget reported that the response will be: "I am a humble personal assistant."

I'm glad to know right off the bat that this site isn't very reliable for accurate information. There is no iPhone 5. So I'm not sure what's being talked about in this article.
